On Monday, 6 May, during Beef Australia, TGS hosted Sundowners with Mort and Co.
TGS Old Boy (1979 – 1983) Charlie Mort’s significant contribution to Australian agriculture was explored during an interview with fellow TGS Old Boy (1985 – 1989), agriculture legal specialist and Beef Australia Director, Trent Thorne.
TGS Deputy Headmaster, John Anderson, shared the School’s plans for Design, Engineering and Technology and Agriculture and Industry Centres and the School’s plans for an innovative ag program.
This event was a wonderful opportunity for past, present and future families, Old Boys and Beef Australia attendees to come together and celebrate the TGS connection to the Australian agricultural sector.
