Townsville Grammar School is one of the original Grammar Schools of Queensland. The Year 7-12 campus is located on the original site at North Ward. The School also operates two Junior School campuses, both offering Pre-Prep to Year 6, at Annandale and North Shore.

Townsville Grammar School is a co-educational, non-denominational School with a current enrolment of approximately 1400 students, including 120 boarders (7-12), of whom approximately 25 are international students.

As one of the eight original Grammar schools in Queensland, Townsville Grammar School was established in 1888 and has offered boarding since this time. The School has a long-standing reputation as the leading academic school in Northern Queensland, also offering the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme for Years 11 and 12.

Townsville Grammar School is seeking a teacher who can make Accounting, Legal Studies, or IB Business Management click — not just teach the syllabus, but help students understand how money, decisions, law, and business actually work in the real world.

This is a role for an educator who sees these subjects as more than content on a page and who can connect classroom learning to life beyond school.

About the role

Depending on your expertise, you will teach one or more senior subjects across Accounting, Legal Studies and IB Business Management, helping students develop practical skills, analytical thinking, and confidence in decision-making. Our students respond best to teachers who explain the “why” behind the content and make learning relevant and meaningful.

Candidates who are able to teach any of these subjects are encouraged to apply.

You will join a collaborative and supportive faculty focused on strong academic outcomes, continuous improvement, and the sharing of ideas and teaching practices.

What makes this role different

• Real-world application is front and centre.
• Students value practical, relevant learning.
• A faculty culture of collaboration and support.
• Scope to bring your own examples, case studies, and teaching style.
• A school that values clarity, consistency, and strong teaching practice.
