A Brisbane Grammar School (BGS) education sets its graduates on a path to success in a range of endeavours. An independent, non-denominational day and boarding school for boys, BGS has been a leader in education in Australia since its foundation in 1868. The School is located on the edge of Brisbane CBD and caters to 1,700 boys from Years 5 to 12, including more than 80 boarders.听
Underpinned by values of learning, leadership, endeavour, respect and community, BGS educates boys by nurturing their intellectual, physical, and emotional wellbeing to become thoughtful, confident men of character who contribute to their communities.听
Incredible facilities鈥攕uch as the state-of-the-art STEAM Precinct and the听Indoor Sports Centre with an Olympic-sized pool, gymnastics facility and basketball courts鈥攂alance beautifully with historical architecture that dates back to the School鈥檚 early days.听
BGS also boasts a number of exceptional off-site facilities, including the Northgate Playing Fields, the Outdoor Education Centre at Lake Moogerah, the Rowing Boatshed at West End and the Tennis Centre at Kelvin Grove.听
Boarding students are made to feel part of a House 鈥榝amily鈥 and are kept busy through a variety of programs which include everything from academic services to STEAM and cocurricular sports and activities; from personal enrichment听to public purpose and life skills.听

All GPS sports and cultural activities (chess and debating) and a range of other sports and activities including fencing, Tae Kwon-Do, drama, an extensive music program, Computer Club, Robotics Club and Duke of Edinburgh awards scheme.
Boarding has been an integral and dynamic part of the School鈥檚 landscape since it opened in 1869. Boarders are in the perfect position and have ample opportunity to access the vast array of experiences the School has to offer. As Harlin House is located听at the heart of the campus, the boarders have, on their doorstep, extensive playing fields, the Indoor Sports Centre听and the Music Centre, and need only walk about 50m to听The Lilley Centre听for prep which houses听the Senior Library which the boarders have access to during weeknights.
This stimulating boarding environment is comprised of young men from rural and regional communities, provincial cities and overseas locations.听A warm and nurturing community,听the boys听undoubtedly form听strong bonds and valued friendships that continue long after school, often lasting a lifetime. Our house tutors are all graduate staff, the majority of them teachers, who focus on supporting the boys through the many personal and academic challenges that are a part of life.
Our aim is that boarding at Brisbane Grammar School will provide your son with a chance to develop both his emotional and intellectual intelligence through his interaction with a diverse range of people and experiences.
Our expansive Student Wellbeing Program supports and develops our students' emotional resilience and intelligence. A Student Wellbeing Coordinator oversees the implementation of these programs from Years 5 to 12. Our programs assist boys to make sense of their world and their connections to it.听
