We don’t just welcome your son to TGS, this is a journey for your entire family that continues long after graduation.
We encourage families to become involved in our Parents and Friends’ Association and its various supporter groups and our Past Mothers’ Group. All of these groups host regular functions and activities throughout the year, encouraging a connected school community and ensuring that friendships forged during your son’s time at school can continue after graduation.
Parents and Friends’ Association
The Toowoomba Grammar School Parents and Friends’ Association is the major friend and fundraising organisation of the School. It oversees activities such as the Grammar Art Show and a wide variety of events organised by the Supporters’ Groups.
All parents are welcome to attend P&F meetings to provide ideas and suggestions on fundraising, expenditure and discuss issues that are relevant to the general School community. For parents who cannot attend in person, a link is provided prior to each meeting to enable online participation in the meeting (via Microsoft Teams). Please check the TGS App or the online School Calendar for specific details.

The P&F committee can be reached via email at tgspandf@twgs.qld.edu.au
P&F Supporters’ Groups
A major strength of the P&F is its Supporters’ Groups. The Supporters’ Groups are comprised of parents and friends with a common interest in a sport or activity. Having first ensured that their plans meet the general requirements of the School and the P&F, Supporters’ Groups then direct the funds they have raised towards worthwhile projects and in some instances, to events, activities or merchandise relevant to their particular sport or activity. Families are welcome to be part of the Supporters’ Groups without being part of the P&F committee.
The TGS Supporters’ Groups include:
- Grammar Art Show Committee
- Basketball Supporters’ Group
- Boarder Parents' Support Group
- Cricket Supporters’ Group
- Football Supporters’ Group
- Junior School Supporters’ Group
- Rugby Supporters’ Group
- Supporters of the Arts
- Swimming Supporters’ Group
- Volleyball Supporters’ Group
- Tennis Supporters' Group
- Mountain Biking Supporters' Group
Parents are welcome to join the Art Show Committee and further details are available by contacting twgs.artshow@gmail.com
