A

journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step Your child will only start school once – make sure it is the best possible start for your child.

To assure access to a Grammar education for your child, in 2015 Townsville Grammar School opened the Early Education Centre at its North Shore campus, closely followed by the opening of the junior primary years programme in 2017.
