Books & Stationery - Junior School
All Junior School students will receive a book pack on the first day of School. This will contain all exercise books, text books and basic stationery that your child will need throughout the year. Your child’s teacher will go through these supplies during the first week and will send items home for labelling and covering during the course of the week.
Each child is required to supply their own pencil case.

The deadline for text book orders is Sunday, 8 December 2024 for guaranteed delivery for the 2025 School year.
For parents of non State School enrolled students, the Queensland Government Textbook and Resource Allowance is provided in the second half of each year. This allowance will be reimbursed to TGS parents to assist with the cost of textbooks and stationery. Typically, this will appear as a credit on Term 3 fees.

Our TGS Parents Network provides a great opportunity for parents from all campuses to support the School.
All parents, from Pre-Prep to Year 12 are welcome to attend our friendly and welcoming meetings where we discuss ways in which we can support the school through a range of activities and events. The Parents Network is also a great way to meet other parents across the campuses and helps to build our community spirit.
If you are a Junior School parent, you are also welcome to join in our campus-based Parents Network committees. These committees work toward hosting parent/family engagement events at each campus throughout the year.
