Our Stories
The hallmark of a Launceston Grammar education is one of inspiration and courage. Our history shows that each student who passes through leaves an enduring mark for the next generation to follow.
The passion and determination to strive for what is right and just; and the desire to change our world for the better is evident in our classrooms and extracurricular activities as well as in our community connections. We are proud of our current and past students who dare to question, dream and pioneer in tomorrow’s world.
We celebrate our partnership with Broadland Church of England Girls Grammar School (Australia’s oldest Girls School), Launceston High School (Merged in 1912), and Launceston Church Grammar Preparatory School ‘Little Grammar’ (Formed in 1930).
Nowadays, we extend the bonds of friendship through various alumni and community groups, notably, the Elizabeth Street Chapter, the Old Boys, the Broadland House Old Girls Association and the Old Launcestonians’ Football Club.

When Launceston Church Grammar students walk through the gates of the Junior Campus in Lyttleton Street, few may realise that the Pisė de Terre building at its heart, now the School’s reception, was once home to Broadland House Church of England Girls Grammar School, the oldest private girls school in the southern hemisphere.
Established in 1845, Broadland House flourished for more than a century as a proud and progressive school for girls. Prior to amalgamating with Launceston Church Grammar School in 1982, the campus was a thriving centre for all-girls education.
We have been a family where each member knows one another well and has the common purpose of upholding our ideals and learning to become equipped for life in the awareness of, and under the guidance of, our school motto, "Nisi Dominus Frustra" - without the Lord all is in vain.
(Betty Stevenson, President of the Broadland House Old Girls Association, 1982.)
In 1893, the Broadland House Old Girls Association was formally established, one of the longest-serving alumni associations in Australia. ‘Old Girls’ gathered regularly to reconnect, raise money for various initiatives, and share memories of their school days.
April 2025 marked a poignant milestone in the association's history, at an extraordinary meeting, the attendees voted to formally dissolve the Broadland House Old Girls Association. While the association may have formally concluded, its spirit will continue to live on.
The Broadland House School Communion Alumni Service and Luncheon will continue annually and is open to all past students who attended Broadland House up until 1982.
The association’s remaining funds will continue to support current students at Launceston Grammar through awards across both campuses. The Nora Beresford Prize, the Broadland House Old Girls Association Art Prize, and the Broadland House Old Girls Award will be awarded annually at presentation events.
Future donations from Broadland alumni will continue to be administered through this fund, with larger gifts directed to the Junior Campus.
