School Badge
The School Badge was designed in 1902 by a Sydney architect. The background represents the Southern Cross, with the Three Turrets set on the Rock of Christianity, surrounded by the sea of Plenty. The central turret symbolises spiritual values, while the two side turrets represent intellectual and sporting values.
The Latin text on the badge reads "Bonus intra melior exi", literally "Come in good, go out better".
Townsville Grammar School is a co-educational, non-denominational school from Pre-Prep - Year 12, with boarding from Year 7, located in Townsville in Queensland, Australia. The School has two campuses, with Pre-Prep - Year 6 in Annandale and Years 7 - 12 in North Ward.
Townsville Grammar School is a school where young people, irrespective of their innate abilities, can achieve their personal best. The School motto Bonus Intra Melior Exi - to "come in good and go out better" is a guiding philosophy in our approach to the academic, sporting, cultural and character development of all young Grammarians who pass through the School. The School enjoys a remarkable culture of achievement and this is reflected in its well deserved pre-eminent status as an educational institution in North Queensland.
Students are encouraged to develop and demonstrate self-discipline in behaviour, dress and manner as well as worthy personal qualities, notably integrity, decency, responsibility, self-respect, honesty and industry. Every student is expected to do his or her best and there is a supportive and caring ethos in which every student is given individual attention and support.
