This school began its life as Clayfield College for Boys in February 1902 with four students attending classes in a small house. When the Presbyterian Church took over the school in 1918 its search for new grounds lead to the purchase and gift of part of Sir Robert Philp’s estate in Toowong. The renamed Brisbane Boys College opened in Toowong in 1931.
