I would like to acknowledge all Year 12 teachers, Heads of Department and Director of Studies, Dr Alison Young, for their work with this cohort. I congratulate our students on their achievements, which we will be pleased to recognise and celebrate at the Scholars’ Assembly on Friday, 27 January 2023.
ATAR represents only a portion of career pathways for our students, and we would also like to recognise and celebrate our boys who have received apprenticeships, traineeships or other employment through the TGS Vocational Education and Training program and business partnerships.
TGS gives every boy to tools to forge his own path, to help him become a man of good character who will contribute to society and lead a meaningful life – that is our proudest achievement.
Congratulations to all our 2022 Year 12 graduates!
