Celebrating 150 years of blue and gold

Guiding good character

From the moment
the school’s foundation stone was laid to the moment we’re in now, TGS has focused on shaping young men of good character—the kind who’ll give their all for their school, their mates, and their community. The kind who will shake your hand and look you in the eye. Who stand tall and hold strong. Over the past 150 years, blue and gold have come to embody that spirit—an ineffable bond uniting TGS graduates across generations. That bond became our guiding theme for the film: Blue and gold, a legacy of character.

Telling it true

Too often, milestone films lean on predictable tropes: gentle strings, a guided journey through the ages, a dates-and-facts timeline. TGS deserved something more real; more honest. So we rolled up our sleeves and dug through the school’s museum archives—image by image—searching for media that spoke to the school’s heart as much as its history.

Living legacy

Supers carry the story, drawing on TGS’s earliest documents, verses from the school song, and an alumnus-penned tribute poem. Woven together under an original musical composition, the final film paints a vivid portrait of the blue and gold spirit—a way of being that’s carried TGS through 150 years and counting. When the film premiered to staff at the start of the sesquicentenary, it resonated in all the right ways. Word is, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house.
