The Gregory Terrace motto, Servire Deo Sapere or ‘To Serve God is to be Wise’, is a visible reminder of our commitment to identify and develop every boys’ talents and gifts, forming gentlemen of faith and courage whose learning can be used to make a difference in the world.
Our Senior leaders have chosen the theme Be the One as their 2020 motto. Be the One honours the proud academic tradition of Gregory Terrace. With 19 students receiving an OP1 in 2019, the Class of 2020 will work together to uphold the College’s outstanding academic legacy, as they seek to live out the College motto to be men of faith and learning. Following another year of outstanding academic success in 2019, we know that 2020 will add a new and exciting chapter to the Terrace story.
Our faith is central to everything we do, from the classroom to the sporting field, we challenge our students to foster quality, compassionate relationships in the spirit of Blessed Edmund Rice. House Friendship Groups enable students to walk with several community support groups such as Youngcare, Brisbane Youth Service and Orange Sky Laundry, and in doing so extend their faith outside the school gates.
Each student at the College is supported to be the best that he can be through a House-based pastoral care system. Year 12 students assume the role of a ‘Big Buddy’ to new students in Years 5 and 7. The Terrace Family - staff, students, parents and guardians, Old Boys and friends of the College, all nurture each student on their journey to being gentlemen of knowledge, humility and wisdom.
A central aspiration of the Gregory Terrace Mission is to develop “Men of Faith and Learning”.
We have a student-centred approach to teaching and learning that tracks and mentors students, teaches explicit skills to maximise learning, recognises academic achievement and improvement and encourages reflective learning. We define academic excellence as achieving to one’s potential, and the College’s staff commit to assisting every student to be his best academic self.
Staff at the College will provide your son with an encouraging, nurturing and supportive learning environment from Year 5 through to Year 12. From the beginning of his Terrace journey, your son will have access to specialist teachers in subjects such as Music, Human Movements and Languages (currently Japanese and French). He will be exposed to a broad curriculum with a focus on developing core skills in literacy and numeracy. In the senior years, we aim to maximise student outcomes and hence, pathways beyond school.
