"Sport is an essential element of education." – George Sheehan
At Brisbane Bayside State College, our sports program embodies the motto Fortius Quo Fidelius — strength through loyalty. We strive to instill this value in our students, encouraging all abilities to participate and compete with integrity.
For us, sporting prowess isn’t just about winning; it’s about participation, sportsmanship, teamwork, and skill development. We believe that giving your best effort and playing fairly are far more important than victory at any cost.
That said, preparation, training, and a commitment to learning and improvement are key to sporting success. At BBSC, success is seen as a journey, measured by a student’s willingness to learn, their effort, and good old-fashioned hard work.
