Ms Hoolihan shared her family’s story including their connection with the School.

Ernest Michael Hoolihan is listed on our School’s Honour Board for Pas...t Grammarians who have been awarded an Order of Australia (2014). Ms Hoolihan’s speech ended with an emotional and extended applause by our very appreciative school community. #Alwayswasalwayswillbe #NAIDOC2020

17.01.2022 Our North Queensland Toyota Cowboys (Adopt a Cowboy) Matt Bowen visited our Year 4 STEM class today. As always, the STEM room was buzzing with excitement and Matt helped students set up an experiment to test the absorbency of materials: A super absorbent polymer was used to experience what happens when a material takes up a liquid. Within seconds, the liquid/powder mixture turned into a solid and then erupted into a fluffy, white snow-like material. ... The students watched with amazement as it instantly expanded in their hands and they can confirm this fluffy artificial snow feels as cool as it looks! Our thanks to Matt Bowen for visiting our STEM classroom. It has been one of the highlights of the week. #TsvGrammarSTEM #TsvGrammarDISCOVER #EveryOpportunity Learn more | www.tgs.qld.edu.au

Some of these include Harriet Dyer, Remy Hii, Vince Poletto, Kurt Phelan, Nathin Butler and many more. Past Grammarian, Vince Poletto, was the first student that our Head of Drama, Fiona Perry, helped gain entry to NIDA. Vince was a boarder at TGS, from Giru. His first TV series after leaving NIDA was Heartbreak High. Heartbreak High (all 7 se...asons) has been bought by Netflix and will enjoy a revival, airing from November 27.
