History

In 2003, Moreton Bay College and the Presbyterian and Methodist Schools Association (PMSA) entered into an agreement, establishing Moreton Bay Boys’ College. A separate, not-for-profit company, Moreton Bay Boys’ College Ltd (MBBC Ltd), which owns and operates the College, was incorporated on 10 April 2003. The school opened in 2003 on vacant land at MBC, running Prep and Year 1 classes. In 2004, MBBC added Year 2 classes and moved to its permanent home at 302 Manly Road, Manly West, located a few minutes away from Moreton Bay College. Years 3 to 5 were added in 2005, Years 6 to 9 in 2006, Year 10 in 2008, and Year 11 in 2009, with the first Year 12s graduating from the College in 2010. The College has a maximum capacity of between 750-800 students.
