Brisbane Grammar School has officially unveiled a new Olympian Honour Board during a celebratory event recognising the incredible achievements of Old Boys who have represented their country on the world’s biggest sporting stage. 

Five Olympians attended the event, along with their families, Board members and key dignitaries from the sporting and government sectors.

Since 1904, 17 BGS athletes have competed at the Olympic Games, collectively earning seven medals.  

Their names are listed on the Honour Board as follows: 

• Francis Gailey (swimming)  

• Louis Hailey (hockey)  

• Neil Martin (swimming)  

• Neil Hawgood (hockey)  

• Richard Powell (rowing) 

• David Weightman (rowing)  

• Toby Jenkins (water polo)

• John Millman (tennis) 

• Nick D’Agostino (football) 

• Patrick Holt (rowing)  

• Logan Ullrich (New Zealand) (rowing) 

Deputy Headmaster Cocurricular Greg Thorne said the occasion was as much about families as it was about the athletes themselves. 

“Behind every Olympian is a network of family, coaches, and mentors who made sacrifices, offered unwavering support, and allowed young people to chase extraordinary dreams,” he said. 

“These achievements stand as a testament not only to individual talent, but to perseverance, discipline and belief.” 

The unveiling came amid growing excitement for upcoming Olympic and major international sporting events, including the 2026 Winter Olympic Games and the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games.  

“Our primary focus remains providing an environment where every student can improve their own personal trajectory for success—and where sport is embraced as a powerful contributor to wellbeing,” Mr Thorne said.
