  • Support the development of world-class learning environments.
  • Build and nurture an engaged and connected community.  

Opportunity:  

The Moreton Bay Colleges’ Foundation welcomes expressions of interest to join our dedicated and dynamic Board.  

After recently conducting a skills analysis review, the Board is looking to fill three voluntary director vacancies, with an emphasis on attracting the following skills:

  • Finance and investments 
  • Sales and marketing 
  • Relationship building and management 

The Moreton Bay Colleges’ Foundation Directors are passionate volunteers who attend approximately eight board meetings per year, in addition to several before/after-hours community engagement events. 

This opportunity is open to community members including parents, grandparents, alumni, or anyone who wishes to support our colleges and grow the Foundation.

If you are interested in applying and sharing your time and expertise, we welcome you to send your resume to our Chair, Mr Anthony Lee- foundation@moretonbaycolleges.qld.edu.au by COB Friday 21 April 2023 . 

Our Foundation Board is made up of dynamic team of professionals offering a range of expertise. The Board members volunteer their time and are committed to ensuring the Foundation invests in the Colleges for today and tomorrow.

We work together with the enthusiastic and loyal community of each college. This includes the MBC Old Girls’ Association, the developing Old Boys' Alumni and Parents & Friends at both Moreton Bay College and Moreton Bay Boys' College.
