The Fireside Chat Series, presented by the Toowoomba Grammar Institute

The Fireside Chat Series invites prominent guests to the School to speak on a broad range of topics that are of interest to our community. These events aim to expand the knowledge of our students, parents, staff, Old Boys and guests from the wider community, providing a personal and interactive discussion which allows the audience to gain insights into the guest’s expertise and personal experience in a particular field.
