About Brisbane Independent School
Teaching young minds to shine since 1968
Brisbane Independent School’s mission is to nurture, develop and trust our pupils’ innate love of learning. We aim to produce graduates who are confident, competent and respectful: and to equip them with the skills necessary to continue learning courageously in all facets of their lives.
Why Choose BIS?
Choosing a school for your child is a huge decision. You engage in a lot of research to become clear about what you are looking for.
Everyone cares about their child’s emotional happiness, but does it balance equally with academic learning for your family? When you consider your own experiences in primary school, what are the things that mattered most? What are the features of those early years that stayed with you?
These big questions guide you to make a conscious, courageous and informed decision for your child’s future.
Take a closer look at this section to find out how and why Brisbane Independent School is the next step in primary education.
