Sport

Since Brisbane Grammar School opened in 1869, cocurricular pursuits have played a fundamental role in developing well-rounded graduates.

The School provides opportunities for boys to engage in sport at all levels – from beginner teams to the Great Public Schools’ Association (GPS) competition.

At BGS, sport and activities complement the academic experience and provide important learning opportunities. With a focus on teamwork, commitment, discipline, setting goals and striving for personal bests, every boy is encouraged to challenge himself and try something new.

BGS has won many accolades and premierships over the years, and students are regularly selected to represent state and national teams in their chosen disciplines.
