Toowoomba
Grammar School
Toowoomba Grammar School is a non-denominational school
for boys set in the heart of Australia’s most beautiful provincial
city. The School is of Christian tone and character and caters for boys
from years one to twelve. The School is one of the nine member schools
of the nationally known “Great Public Schools of Queensland”.
The School is essentially academic; however, there is a
recognition that some boys may not wish to continue an academic tertiary
career and to that end some vocational courses are offered with some units
being credited to tertiary courses.
Academic results at Toowoomba Grammar School in recent years
have been outstanding. The vast majority of boys proceed to tertiary studies
and may obtain offers to study at the most prestigious universities in
the country.
On the sporting field Toowoomba Grammar School is renowned
as the School “That Plays the Game”. While academic endeavour
receives priority, sport is encouraged as it is an essential ingredient
of a well rounded education together with an exposure and encouragement
of culture and teaching of social standards. Boys are taught to be gracious
in victory and magnanimous in defeat.
Every boy should be happy at Toowoomba Grammar School. He
should be achieving in and enjoying whatever field of endeavour he chooses
in a harassment-free environment and the School’s structured Pastoral
Care System creates this culture.
The School, is, for management purposes, divided into ten
vertically structured Houses, five boarding and five dayboy. Each House
is the responsibility of a Housemaster and assisting the Housemaster is
an Assistant Housemaster, Tutors and in the Boarding Houses, resident
staff.
Toowoomba Grammar School is proud to offer an education
designed for boys in a safe and secure environment. Everyday is Open Day
