The Associated Independent Colleges of Queensland (AIC) are a group of eight independent schools in Queensland, Australia involved in a variety of sporting and cultural activities. AIC competition is only for male secondary students. Primary schools attached to AIC schools compete against their GPS counterparts in the Combined Independent Colleges (CIC) competition. St Peter's primary boys compete in The Associated Schools Junior (TASJ) competition and St Peter's secondary girls compete in the Queensland Girls' Secondary Schools Sports Association (QGSSSA).
History
The association formed in 1998 with the inaugural year of competition being 1999. 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, all are boys only schools. 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.

There are three trimesters of sport. During the trimester each school plays a single round robin against all of the other schools. After seven weeks of competition, premierships are awarded to the teams with the most season points. Traditionally, schools: St Peters, Ashgrove, Iona and St Laurences are successful in the Rugby Union Competition followed closely by Padua and Villanova who always put up a fight against these schools. St Peters, Villanova and Padua always field strong Soccer teams. In the Track and Field competition Iona are very successful winning the past six in a row.

Other events
In addition to sporting competition, the schools have formed a community with many other interactions. AIC schools will often encounter one another in the QDU debating competition, various mission and social justice functions, Queensland Catholic Colleges Music Festival (QCMF) as well as many social functions. As all AIC schools are Christian Denominational at the start of each year there is an Ecumenical service hosted by one of the schools on a rotational basis. It is attended by staff and student leaders representing each school.
