At Toowoomba Grammar School, we pride ourselves on being a responsive, proactive, and engaging learning environment enthusiastic at seeing our students succeed. We aim to efficiently support stu...dents’ health and wellbeing whilst in our care. As key figures in these students’ personal and educational development, the more informed and aware we are of their unique needs, the more successful we will be in shaping men of the future. Six months on and two of our Housemasters, Andrew Budnick and Ryan Fowler have been collating data and researching the impact that SKODEL has had on our boarders with exceptionally positive findings. A little progress every day adds up to big results...
