As the consistently leading school in North Queensland for educational outcomes, the Prep Program sets the foundation for the Grammar approach to teaching and learning.
The Prep Year is considered the formal start of a child’s learning journey. Children come together at the beginning of the school year with a mix of experiences, abilities, talents and interests and the Prep Program introduces them to the School’s culture of learning.
“We know that children learn best when they feel comfortable and happy,” said Timothy Kelly, Principal of Townsville Grammar School. “Our Prep teaching teams deliver a full experience of creative learning, supported by the development of genuine relationships with our parents and families.”
The Townsville Grammar School Prep Program Offers:
- Early childhood trained Teachers

“Our Prep classrooms and precincts are learning spaces designed to inspire imagination, creativity, curiosity and investigation,” said Mr Kelly. “This is where the learning journey begins, and it is vital that we capture our students’ imagination and instil a sense of wonder for learning as early as possible.”
