The Anglican Church Grammar School, or Churchie, was in defence mode after it emerged several Year 12 students wanted to take their gay partners to the college's end-of year dance on June 19.
Under current policy, the young men may only attend the ball with a female partner.
A spokesman for Queensland's Catholic Education Commission confirmed it also would not allow gay couples to attend their school formals.
