A culture of participation and excellence

Sport is a vibrant part of life at MBC. Students have opportunities to participate across a wide range of sports, building physical confidence and developing the habits of commitment, perseverance and teamwork.

In Primary School, girls compete through the Andrews Cup Association, which encourages participation and fosters a lifelong interest in sport and healthy living.

In Secondary School, students compete through QGSSSA, giving girls the opportunity to represent the College in a strong and established interschool sporting environment.

Supporting high-performing athletes

For students balancing academic study with elite training and competition, MBC offers the Athlete Development Programme.

The programme supports high-performing student athletes in achieving both their sporting and academic goals. It is designed to develop confident, independent, resilient and courageous young women while nurturing their physical talents.

More than results

Sport teaches girls how to lead, contribute and respond to challenge. It builds resilience in setbacks, humility in success and confidence that extends well beyond the field, court or pool.

At MBC, sport is not only about performance. It is part of how girls grow in character, connection and self-belief.
