Brisbane Boys' College is rated as one of Brisbane's finest schools.It was established in 1902 By Mr Arthur Rudd. Rudd arrived in Brisbane in 1901 by boat from Melbourne. He decided to start a school in clayfield in a house called "Cockarda". The school opened in February 1902 with just 4 students, and was named Clayfield College.
In 1906 the school moved to a new premises on the corner of Bayview Terrace, near the tram terminus. There was limited room for sporting fixtures, so for many years the boys walked to the nearby Kalinga park. In 1908 the school had 32 students, and a cadet corps was formed with the impending 1914-1918 war. The school suffered the losses of 8 Clayfield Collegians during the war.
Although the College fosters a strong belief in academic success, a wide range of co-curricular activities are offered to students from Grade 4 - 12. With years of success and close losses Brisbane Boys' College believes strongly in teaching students discipline and sportsmanship. From Football to Chess every boy is bound to find a new sporting passion.
