Who we are
Welcome to the Takapuna Grammar School Alumni Community. We are a group of past students and staff who are keen to stay connected with Takapuna Grammar School.

What we do
We aim to foster alumni connections and build a community through regular newsletters and events, with the big focus being on the School’s Centenary in 2027.

Join us!
We are really excited to announce the launch of our dedicated online hub for Takapuna Grammar School alumni.

You’ll be able to post photos and memories for others to enjoy, post updates on what you have been up to, private message other TGS alumni and stay informed on reunions and other events that bring the Takapuna Lions - our alumni community - together.
