Sport & Activities

We believe that sport shapes character and instils values that last a lifetime. Through training with commitment, competing with integrity, embracing defeat with resilience and celebrating victory with humility, students develop the foundations of strong sportsmanship and personal excellence.

TGS offers an extensive and dynamic co-curricular sports program from Junior School through to Senior School. Students who demonstrate outstanding skill or potential in one or more sports are encouraged to apply for a Sport Bursary, supporting their pursuit of excellence both on and off the field.

Sport Program

Sport is offered at Townsville Grammar School in a number of ways.  Outside of the Physical Education curriculum, students have the opportunity to participate in Interhouse, Interschool and Club Sport competitions, as well as the Co-curricular Sport Program.
