Canon Morris assigned Saint Magnus, a Viking Earl, as the Patron Saint of the school, and had hoped that the students would be referred to as 'Magnates'.^[1] It is said that he did not like the nick-name 'Churchie' at first, however when it had become commonplace by the 1930s and respected around Queensland he accepted the change.^[8] Statue of St. ...

The school's name was changed to The Cathedral School early in 1913, following a move to a new site at St John's Cathedral in the Brisbane central business district, where 33 boys completed the school year. Enrolments proved strong, and in 1916, with an enrolment of 106 students and the new name of Church of England Grammar School (CEGS), a decision was made to purchase land to build a new school. In 1918 the foundation stone was laid on the school's current site.^[1] St Johns Cathedral is the Anglican cathedral of Brisbane, situated on the outskirts of the city centre, and the metropolitan cathedral of the ecclesiastical province of Queensland. ...

In the early 1980s, the school name was changed once again, this time to Anglican Church Grammar School (ACGS). The school came under controversy when Frederick Roy Hoskins, a former teacher, boarding house head, and Father of the Year at the school, pleaded guilty in May 2004 to 16 child sex offences committed against seven victims aged nine to fifteen between 1947 and 1955. He continued to teach for 40 years. The crimes were not made public until plans were made to name a building after the teacher.^[9][10]

Patron saint

Canon Morris based the school's ethos on its patron saint, Saint Magnus, a Viking earl known for his strength of character and his qualities as an educated Christian man. This Viking tradition is reflected in the school crest, with the shield and battle axes symbolising Viking courage, and the axes crossed to signify self-sacrifice.^[1] Saint Quentin is the patron saint of locksmiths and is also invoked against coughs and sneezes. ...

Spiritual ethos

Canon Jones Memorial Chapel, circa 1924

Churchie is one of the group of schools controlled by the Anglican Diocese of Brisbane. While enrolment is open to students of all faiths, or none, students are expected to participate in chapel services and the religious education program. The school has three Chaplains on staff, all of whom are ordained Priests. The Anglican Diocese of Brisbane is located in Brisbane, Australia. ...

Chapel worship for the preparatory middle and senior schools is a regular occurrence, as well as services for boarders and other groups in the Churchie community. Religious education is taught by a number of staff in each of the sub-schools. The middle school has an assistant head of faculty (religious education), while the senior Chaplain is head of faculty for religious education.

The school hymn is The Head That Once was Crowned with Thorns, to the tune of St. Magnus. It was chosen by the school's founder due to the link to the school's patron saint.

House system

As with most Australian schools, Churchie utilises a house system. Each student is a member of one of its eleven houses, and compete in inter-house sporting events: swimming, cross-country, track and field, trivia, public speaking, lightning chess, singing, and performance and design technology. Points are awarded according to participation and positioning. The inter-house cup is awarded at the end of the year, as well as a separate cup for each event. The House System is a traditional feature of British schools, similar to the collegiate system of a university. ... Swimmer redirects here. ...

Day houses

There are nine day boy houses.

Biggs

Named after Mr. E.E. Biggs, who was a member of the first school council and attended the school from 1918-1923. This family's association with the school has continued to the present day. The house motto is Always Striving. Colours: Blue, White and Yellow.

Casey

Founded in 1971 and named in honour of Richard Gardiner Casey (1890-1976), later Baron Casey of Berwick, the distinguished Australian diplomat, politician and Governor General. The house motto, Vis et Unitas, is usually translated as "progress through unity". The house coat of arms incorporates themes from Casey's own coat of arms, with the addition of the crossed Viking swords. Colours: Gold and Royal Purple (Baron Casey's own colours). Lord Casey Richard Gardiner Casey, Baron Casey KG, GCMG, CH, DSO, MC, PC (29 August 1890 - 17 June 1976), Australian politician and diplomat and 16th Governor-General of Australia, was born in Brisbane, Queensland. ...

Grenfell

One of the first four day houses at Churchie, founded in 1935 and named after Sir Wilfred Thomasson Grenfell, who was born at Parkgate, England, in 1865. He was a doctor whose interest in boating, and love of the sea led him to becoming a Master Mariner. A lecturer suggested he join a large fishing fleet as their doctor. Within five years he had encouraged the fishermen to stop drinking and Queen Victoria's interest in this feat led to her presenting the fleet with its first hospital boat. In 1891 Grenfell sailed to Cape St. John's in the North Atlantic. He was mobbed by people who needed medical attention. The following spring he returned to Labrador with two doctors and nurses, where he set up two hospital bases for the Eskimos who populated Labrador. A third hospital was set up at St. Anthony in about 1898. Sir Wilfred Grenfell gave the school permission to use his personal motto, Loyal Devoir, and coat of arms when the house was established. Colours: Red and Gold. Sir Wilfred Grenfell Sir Wilfred Thomason Grenfell (February 28, 1865-October 9, 1940) was a medical missionary to Newfoundland and Labrador. ...

Hillary

Named by the late Charles Fisher, after looking for men who had achieved success in their chosen field. Sir Edmund Hillary was in 1953 one of the first men ever to climb Mt. Everest. The house colours and crest were chosen by the first students of Hillary from designs submitted by students. The crest incorporates the symbols of knighthood - knight's helmet, a castle, and a fist pointing upward. The house motto is Semper Sursum ("ever upward"). Colours: Black and Gold. Sir Edmund Percival Hillary, KG, ONZ, KBE (born 20 July 1919) is a New Zealand mountaineer and explorer. ...

Kingsley

One of the original four houses. It held both day and boarding students until 1950, when two boarding houses were created. In 1971, Kingsley House was divided to create Biggs and Hillary Houses. Canon Morris chose Charles Kingsley as a patron hero, as he was seen as a Christian with a Viking's courage. History reveals Charles Kingsley to have been a man who practiced his Christian beliefs and followed his social conscience to help the less fortunate, with whom he chose to live. The Kingsley House motto translates to something like Do what you do well. Colours: Black and White. Charles Kingsley A statue of Charles Kingsley at Bideford, Devon (UK) Charles Kingsley (June 12, 1819 – January 23, 1875) was an English novelist, particularly associated with the West Country and north-east Hampshire. ...

Magnus

In 1935, Canon Morris implemented the house system at the school. Magnus is one of the original four day houses. The house is named after St. Magnus, Churchie's patron saint. Magnus has as its coat of arms a simple shield with St. Magnus holding a sword and a palm of martyrdom. This image of St. Magnus is from a stained-glass window in St. Magnus Cathedral in the Orkneys and dates back probably to the thirteenth century. The house motto is Sibi Fidelis ("be faithful to oneself"). Colours: Maroon and Royal Blue. St Magnus-the-Martyr is an Anglican church in the City of London, located on Lower Thames Street near the modern London Bridge. ...

Mansfield

Named after Sir Alan Mansfield, a distinguished barrister, judge, chief justice and governor of Queensland. Sir Alan attended the school when it was known as St. Magnus Hall. Writing in the Old Boys' Scrapbook in 1961, he said: Sir Alan James Mansfield was Governor of Queensland, Australia four times between 1957 and 1972. ...

The real proof of the quality of a School, however, is to be found in the character of the men whom it has produced. Many of the Old Boys of this School have distinguished themselves in various walks of life and their names are well known, but it is not only by their achievements that the soul and spirit of this School can be gauged. It is to be seen in the character and conduct of many old boys whose names are not well known, but have infused them into everyday life of the community something that is healthy and good.^{[cite this quote]}

The house crest borrows heavily from the Mansfield family coat of arms. The motto is Steadfast. Colours: White and Blue.

Mawson

Named after Douglas Mawson, a professor of geology and distinguished academic, who became famous for his discovery of the South Magnetic Pole in 1908 and his tragic second journey to Antarctica in 1911. He continued to visit and explore Antarctica up to 1931. The house motto is Alis Austri, which translates to "On the wings of the South Wind". The coat of arms for the house includes the vessel Mawson used on his voyages south and the Southern Cross. Colours: Red and Green. “Mawson” redirects here. ... This article includes a list of works cited but its sources remain unclear because it lacks in-text citations. ...

Nansen

One of the original houses, was named after Fridtjof Nansen, a scientist, explorer and humanitarian. The Nansen House crest was established at Churchie in 1938; inscribed on the crest is the motto Fram, which means "Forward". Colours: Green and White. Fridtjof Nansen Fridtjof Wedel-Jarlsberg Nansen (born October 10, 1861 in Store Frøen, near Christiania - died May 13, 1930 in Lysaker, outside Oslo) was a Norwegian explorer, scientist and diplomat. ...

Boarding houses

There are two boarding houses, both based on the school grounds.

Gerald

Gerald house was opened in 1934, as the need for new boarding accommodation grew. Prior to 1959, boarders took part in competitive sport as members of a day house. This changed in 1950 when the boarding houses became sporting competitors in their own right. The house was named after Archbishop Gerald Sharpe. The house crest shows the Bishop's mitre which symbolises the connection with Archbishop Sharpe; the large star signifies God; the two smaller stars king and country, and the five small stars signify truth, honesty, duty, comradeship, and charity. The house's motto is Fideliter Et Constanter, meaning "Faithfully and Constantly". Colours: Green and Yellow.

Goodwin

Goodwin house was opened in 1928, and named after Sir John Goodwin, most famous for his medical work in World War I, and who took interest in the progress of the school while he was Governor of Queensland. The house motto is Fide et Virtute, meaning "By Faith and Courage". The Goodwin House crest is the family crest of Sir John Goodwin, who suggested it be adopted by the house when he granted permission for it to be named Goodwin. Colours: Red and Gold. “The Great War ” redirects here. ...

In 2006 Churchie cut back from 16 houses to 11 abolishing three day boy houses and two boarding houses.
