Brisbane Boys’ College vs Anglican Church Grammar School
GPS Competition, Term 3, Round 9
HEADMASTER
Supporters, coaches, and, of course, our student athletes, welcome to Brisbane Boys’ College.
The Great Public Schools (GPS) of Queensland have been affording young men from South East Queensland the opportunity for friendly competition across a wide variety of sporting and cultural pursuits since 1918. This spirit of fellowship is based on mutual respect, friendly rivalry, and fair play. With each new season, we look forward to renewing our acquaintances with friends from the other GPS communities. Today’s competition, I am sure, will be no exception to this magnificent tradition.
We want all students to enjoy sports and to understand the benefits of physical activity, and we encourage our charges to strive for excellence while impressing on them the importance of team spirit and sportsmanship. Similarly, we encourage all
parents and spectators to set an example of good sportsmanship and respect for fair play as we applaud the endeavours of both teams. With this in mind, I draw your attention to the GPS Codes of Behaviour found in this program.
On behalf of the College community, I would like to thank all staff, coaches, parents, alums, and friends of our schools for their support of our co-curricular programs and their contributions to the success of our sports and activities. This spirit of fellowship and positive intent will be remembered long after the scores of the match are a distant memory. I hope you enjoy this week’s fixtures and feel most welcome as our guests.
Mr Andre Casson | HEADMASTER
HEAD OF CO-CURRICULAR - SPORTS AND COMPETITIVE ACTIVITIES
As we dive into another exciting day of GPS sports and activities, we extend a warm welcome to all competitors, spectators, and staff joining us for this weekend’s fixtures.
At BBC, we take immense pride in fostering an environment where students from both our College and our GPS opposition schools can showcase their talents, build lasting friendships, create lifelong memories, and thrive in their respective pursuits. This weekend is not only about the competition – it’s about the mateship, sportsmanship, and shared experiences that make GPS sports so special.
We look forward to a fantastic weekend of spirited competition and community connection. Best of luck to all competitors, especially those representing their schools in their premier teams.
Mr Paul Woodford | HEAD OF CO-CURRICULAR - SPORTS AND COMPETITIVE ACTIVITIES

It is with great pleasure that we welcome all players, coaches, officials, families, and supporters to Brisbane Boys’ College for another exciting weekend of GPS Rugby.
At BBC, we are proud to be part of a competition that celebrates not only athletic performance but also the values that underpin great sport: respect, humility, commitment, and camaraderie. These qualities are on display each week as young men from across the GPS network compete with passion and integrity, representing their schools with pride.
Rugby at BBC is more than a game; it’s a big part of our culture, a vehicle for character development, and a shared language that connects our students, Old Boys, and community. We cherish the opportunity to host our GPS peers on Miskin Oval and across our grounds, and we thank you for contributing to the spirit and tradition of these occasions.
To all teams taking the field this weekend: play with heart, uphold the spirit of the game, and savour every moment. These are the experiences that shape you, not just as players, but as young men of character.
Best of luck for the round and thank you for being part of the BBC Rugby community today.
