All member school were former members of The Associated Schools (TAS) competition, which had been expanding rapidly, including nearly any new private school in Brisbane. As such the level of competition was declining. The majority of schools in the AIC were mainstays in the top division of the TAS competition. With the exception of St Peter's College are an all schools are boys only. At the formation of the AIC only one all-boys school remained in TAS, the now defunct Marist Brothers College Rosalie. In protest of the departure of the eight AIC schools from TAS competition, all TAS schools with a primary school attached withdrew from the CIC competition for private primary schools.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“the future is simply nothing at all. Nothing has happened to the present by becoming past except that fresh slices of existence have been added to the total history of the world. The past is thus as real as the present.”
—Charlie Dunbar Broad (1887–1971)
“What would we not give for some great poem to read now, which would be in harmony with the scenery,—for if men read aright, methinks they would never read anything but poems. No history nor philosophy can supply their place.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The history of the Victorian Age will never be written: we know too much about it.”
—Lytton Strachey (1880–1932)
