Opened in 1868, Brisbane Grammar School is an independent day and boarding school catering for 1400 boys from Years 6 to 12. Located on a wonderfully landscaped site overlooking the Brisbane CBD, the School is extensively resourced across its academic, student welfare and extra-curricular programs. Underpinned by the values of endeavour, learning, respect, leadership and community, the School's purpose is to educate boys by nurturing their intellectual, physical and emotional well-being to become thoughtful, confident and contributing men of character. Central to the School's proud history of outstanding and consistent academic outcomes is our core academic mission, which is to develop multi-literate students who are critical and creative thinkers in an environment of professional collaboration and exemplary instructional practice. The School cultivates a learning culture rich in intellectual challenge, engagement and support and together with a broad, liberal education seeks to equip students with the capacity to imagine and create their futures. A recognised leader in pedagogy and curriculum design, the School commits substantial human, physical and technical resources to the pioneering development and delivery of 21st century teaching and learning. This is wonderfully characterised by the newly opened Lilley Centre, which combines technology rich, cutting edge, flexible learning spaces with a well-resourced library and programs designed to assist students to navigate their learning in the knowledge era. The recent introduction of individual tablet PCs creates a 1:1 mobile digital learning environment which supports the School's curriculum and learning frameworks and has resulted in exciting and innovative approaches to teaching. In 2003, the School adapted elements of middle schooling to deliberately focus on the important transition from a primary school learning environment to the more independent learning demands of secondary schooling. Our Middle School caters for boys in Years 6 - 8 and has its own..
