At MBC our students are encouraged to extend themselves intellectually and to strive to achieve - whether this is in the classroom, on the playing field or on the stage. For a young girl to grow into a woman capable of dealing with any of life's challenges they need a school experience that allows them to have both a breadth of mind, and depth of heart.
Moreton Bay College has a long tradition educating girls. The College was founded in 1901 by Miss Alison Greene and her sister Anne. The College has had a strong philosophy of educating the whole person – body, mind, heart and spirit. The focus on academic excellence, underpinned by a rich and caring pastoral program serves as the foundation of the educational experience for our girls. This is coupled with a vibrant and strong co-curricular program across visual and performing arts, cultural activities and a wide range of sports.
Girls need an environment that gives both boundaries and freedom to explore and experiment, to take risks, to debate and challenge. Moreton Bay College provides this and our outstanding teaching staff strive to ensure girls achieve their personal best, embrace the opportunities to develop as leaders, to volunteer, to develop courage to overcome and to act with integrity. As a single sex College for girls they are free to be themselves and to build a strong and resilient self-esteem.
Choosing a school can be one of the most challenging and difficult decisions a parent can make.

Established in 1901 Moreton Bay College has witnessed much change whilst also maintaining the core values and traditions established by our Founders, the Greene sisters. What was once primarily a boarding school with an enrolment of 26 in the small seaside town of Wynnum, today is a thriving P-12 day school on Wondall Road, Manly West.
Conversations with Moreton Bay “Old Girls” of all ages reveal what a special place this school was for them, and the College feels that it is important to acknowledge its rich past and maintain the standards established by the Greene sisters, while also looking forward and embracing change. Moreton Bay College takes great pride in its history. The College Archives,established in our Centenary Year of 2001, is the means by which the College preserves, records and communicates its history. The resources contained within are accessed by a broad variety of members of the College and the wider community.
A major focus of celebration of the College’s history is the annual Founders’ Day Service. Attended by Years 4 to 12, along with special guests, the service allows the College community to reflect upon, give thanks for and celebrate the establishment of our wonderful school in 1901.
Through the provision of a challenging, supportive and inspiring learning environment based on Christian principles and beliefs, Moreton Bay College seeks to develop in each girl intellectual and social confidence, integrity, adaptability, humility and an active sense of responsibility for self, others and our world.
