Laying the Foundations to Pursue Tertiary Excellence

Graduating from Brisbane Grammar School is more than an achievement -it’s a gateway to opportunity. Our graduates gain entry into some of the most sought-after tertiary courses in Australia and around the world. 

In a time of rapid change, we ask not just, “what do you want to become?” but “what skills will you need for a job that might not exist yet?”

A BGS education has prepared thousands of Old Boys to attend and excel at leading universities.

Since 1904, BGS has produced more than 20 Rhodes Scholars, some of whom have gone on to become surgeons, historians, engineers, lawyers, professors, politicians, and Australian rugby internationals.

Being around passionate, driven people chasing their dreams and exercising the self-discipline and persistence required to compete on a world stage was a fabulous environment for encouraging those principles in yourself.
