TO W N S V I L L E GRAMMAR SCHOOL 2014 Calendar

Opening doors since 1888

Our Mission Our mission is to provide a high quality learning environment where our students are nurtured and challenged to strive for their personal best in all of their endeavours.

Past, Present and Future

Mr Richard Fairley PRINCIPAL

Townsville Grammar School is where young people, irrespective of their innate abilities, can achieve their personal best. The School motto Bonus Intra Melior Exi, i.e. “come in good and go out better� is a guiding philosophy in our approach to the academic, sporting, cultural and character development of all young Grammarians who pass through the School. The School enjoys a remarkable culture of achievement and this is reflected in its well-deserved pre-eminent status as an educational institution in North Queensland.

Townsville Grammar School currently enjoys a phase of unparalleled physical and enrolment growth and yet has not lost sight of its core values and commitment to a broad liberal education. Our academic standing has been further enhanced by our accreditation as an International Baccalaureate World School offering the highly acclaimed IB Diploma, a course recognised throughout the world.

At Grammar we are proud of our heritage dating back to 1888.

In Appreciation The 2014 Townsville Grammar School Calendar has been made possible by the sponsorship provided by the suppliers and friends of the School listed below. Townsville Grammar School endorses these products and services and we encourage the School Community to support them in return.
