Discover what families are saying about Illawarra Grammar.

“My Daughter has been a student at The Illawarra Grammar School for just over a year now. I have seen her blossom into a wonderful, deeply respectful individual. The Teaching Staff, of whom I have met many, are deeply dedicated to the students, their education and to their growth as citizens of their community.”
Paul Wright
“Our family is super impressed and happy with the school, the staff, the grounds, and opportunities. The teachers genuinely care and go above and beyond to help nurture and educate. The last principal was great, and I’ve been encouraged by the new principal as well. Love the Christian focus and values, and the environment they’re trying to cultivate.”
Joel Deacon
“One of the best. My son went there for Kindy and that was amazing. Unfortunately, we are moving to Sydney and gonna miss all of you. Good Principal, perfect teachers, good families, and all the kids are amazing there.”
Khatereh Khosh Nejad
“My experience at TIGS has been amazing. I have the opportunity to be actively involved in the school community with activities like the Student Representative Council, helping to run Chapel and attending netball gala days for the school. I love the variation in my days that I get from attending TIGS and how I can craft my own high school experience.”
Zahra, Year 9
“I feel that I am part of a diverse student body. The school has a strong commitment to high academic achievements and expects the best from each and every student. It has been very motivating to be surrounded by like-minded classmates who all want to achieve high results.”
Niru, Year 8
“The community and atmosphere makes learning engaging and fun. This community has helped me become the best version of myself. There is a lack of judgment among students and the teachers are always willing to answer any question I have.”
Isaac, Year 9
“The Illawarra Grammar School has consistently provided me with a safe learning environment in which I feel supported, and allowed to express my individuality. The consistent education about building character, from assembly, to camp and biblical studies have elevated my understanding of the qualities of a strong character.”
Saxon, Year 11
“After graduating, I studied a Bachelor of Engineering in Industrial Chemistry at the University of New South Wales. After completing my PhD in 2014, I commenced working at the National Research Council of Italy in Bologna. In November 2022, I was honoured and humbled to be among the 17 people chosen for the ESA Astronaut Class of 2022. I am a member of the Astronaut Reserve. The most important aspect of my education at Illawarra Grammar was the encouragement of a broad range of interests. I loved Mathematics and Science but also Languages. The problem-solving skills I developed in extracurricular activities like Future Problem Solvers are very invaluable in my current job.”
Meganne Christian (Class of 2004)
“I attained a degree in Music at the Australian Institute of Music before moving overseas to study a Masters in Composition for Screen from the Royal College of Music in London. I was fortunate enough to work alongside some of the best young musicians in the world, culminating in recording several compositions in the prestigious Abbey Road Studios. It was during my time at Illawarra Grammar that I began to really engage with Music. It was in my final year that my Music teacher opened my eyes to the possibility that this could be my career. I often point to that as being what nudged me down the path I now find myself on. I was very fortunate to attend a school like Illawarra Grammar which placed such an emphasis on the performing arts, coupled with a breadth of avenues for expression.”
James Yan (Class of 2011)
