There are approximately 550 boys in the Preparatory School and 1,340 in the Senior School. Boarding is an important part of the School’s life, and over 170 boys from Years 7 to 12 are accommodated at Churchie.As a member of the Great Public Schools (GPS) Association, Churchie participates in a range of academic, sporting and cultural competitions against other long-standing Brisbane schools.

Founded in 1912, Churchie’s history and traditions provide the basis for exceptional educational programmes and personal development opportunities tailored to meet the needs of boys.

Churchie’s mission is ‘the making of men’, which aims to nurture and inspire men of character who will lead and serve in communities across the world for the common good.

The Churchie Learning Framework provides an overarching philosophy for teaching and learning at Churchie from Reception to Year 12, tailored to each age and stage of the curriculum as students move towards full maturation.

Churchie offers a broad, liberal education based on the Australian Curriculum and the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA) syllabuses. Churchie is also an authorised International Baccalaureate (IB) World School for the delivery of the IB Primary Years Programme and the Diploma Programme.

To present students with the best academic pathway to suit their goals, the Senior School curriculum culminates in three distinct pathways. Students choose between the Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE), the IB Diploma Programme or, where appropriate, vocational education (VET) pathways and electives.
