context_page_description: The Anglican Church Grammar School, formerly the Church of England Grammar School and commonly referred to as Churchie, is an independent, Anglican, day and boarding school for boys, located in East Brisbane, an inner suburb of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
  Founded in 1912 by Canon William Perry French Morris, Churchie has a non-selective enrolment policy and currently caters for approximately 1,800 students from Reception to Year 12, including 150 boarders from Years 7 to 12. It is owned by the Corporation of the Synod of the Diocese of Brisbane.
  Churchie is a founding member of the Great Public Schools Association of Queensland, and is affiliated with the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia, the Independent Primary School Heads of Australia, Independent Schools Queensland, the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference and the Australian Boarding Schools' Association. Churchie is also an International Baccalaureate World School offering the Diploma Programme and Primary Years Programme.
  Churchie, widely recognised as one of Brisbane's most prestigious schools, is among Australia's richest based on earnings and donations from alumni.
context_section_description: 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 Gerald Sharp, Archbishop of Brisbane (1921–1933). The house crest shows the Bishop's mitre which symbolises the connection with Archbishop Sharp; 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 Lieutenant General Sir John Goodwin, most famous for his medical work in World War I. Goodwin 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.
