As the College embarked on a new year, the Student Leadership Team – comprising a College Captain, Vice Captains and Prefects – visited the Prep Centre to present the College’s youngest Collegians with a 2021 Belong themed badge. All Junior, Middle and Senior School students wear these badges as a visual reminder that the College strength is unity and brotherhood.

After a 19-year drought, the BBC First VIII won the 2021 QLD GPS Head of the River Regatta, after clenching victory in the last 250m at Wyaralong Dam.

In a gutsy display of strength and teamwork the ten man Open First squad, led by coaches Randall Martin (OC 1990) and Scott Laidler (OC 2007), executed near perfect preparation to deliver back-to-back wins in the last three regattas before securing the O’Connor Cup in the main race.

The return of BBC musicals was a profound success with the cast, crew and band of ‘Grease - The School Edition’ performing to capacity crowds and learning new skills in performance, creativity, collaboration, communication and problem solving.

Audiences cheered, danced, laughed and gave the cast a standing ovation across all three performances at the Schonell Theatre, UQ. The strength of the production and the support from the BBC community reflects the incredible spirit that exists at the College, both on and off the stage.
