Welcome to Our School Business Directory.
It gives us great pleasure to introduce our new Business Directory; a space designed to celebrate and support the many wonderful businesses within our school community here at TSS.
Our parents, past students, and friends of the school contribute in countless ways to enrich the life of our community, and this directory is one small way we can give back—by showcasing their businesses and encouraging us all to connect with, and support, each other.
Whether you are searching for professional services, local trades, or unique products, we hope you will find this directory both helpful and inspiring. More than just a list, it represents the spirit of collaboration, generosity, and trust that defines our school family.
We warmly encourage you to explore the directory, make connections, and whenever possible, choose to support a fellow member of our community.
Together, we can continue to strengthen the bonds that make our school such a special place.

The Great War of 1914 -1918 saw over 416,000 Australians volunteer to serve their nation. Among them were threequarters of all eligible Old Boys from The Southport School. Of the 271 TSS Old Boys who enlisted, 52 never returned home.
The horse in the memorial represents over 39,000 Australian horses that accompanied our troops overseas. Only one returned to its homeland.Through shared suffering and mutual empathy, the Australian Lighthorsemen formed lasting and often profound relationships with their beloved mounts. We remember the role these animals played.
The Southport School is proud to commission this special memorial in tribute to the 132 TSS Old Boys who died in military conflict since 1915. This timeless memorial will also pay tribute and respect to all Australians who participate in military conflicts and peacekeeping efforts – past, present and future.
We need your support to complete this meaningful tribute. We are creating individual plaques to honour each of the fallen TSS Old Boys. With your help, we can ensure that every name is remembered, every sacrifice acknowledged, and their legacy preserved for future generations.

Kollosche apartment specialist Rob Lamb is dedicated to helping local and country families find their home away from home on the Coast.
Maintaining connection is a major consideration for any rural or regional family considering sending their children to boarding school. Owning an apartment in a location close to the school is something that can make life easier. Yet navigating the Gold Coast property market can be a daunting prospect for out-of-towners who may be unfamiliar with the area.
Kollosche sales agent and apartment specialist Rob Lamb and his team have for many years been helping rural families stay connected as the demand for places at coastal schools such as St Hilda’s and The Southport School (TSS) grows.
As a parent of a St Hilda’s student himself, Rob understands the value of connection and trust.
His daughter Saskia goes to day school but has many rural boarding friends, which has given him a first-hand appreciation of the positive influence country children have at the school.
Rob explains: “For many of these families, it may be their first experience with having children at a boarding school.
“The kids can get homesick, so parents want to be close by to support them. Having a secure and convenient base in a familiar community can make all the difference.
Rob mainly operates in the suburbs of Main Beach and Broadbeach, which have the widest selection of projects at all price points and are in proximity to St Hilda’s and TSS. His focus is on finding spacious, practical apartments that cater to family life and ensure everyone feels at home.
From advising on price, layout, and building suitability down to more practical details such as if an apartment building’s basement height clearance suits a 4WD, Rob’s thorough approach means nothing is overlooked.
“The apartments that I help to secure often become second family homes,” Rob says.
“They’re not for holiday letting; they’re for families to use when they visit for sports days, music recitals or simply to give their children a break from boarding.”
With a strong network of off-market opportunities and trusted contacts, Rob can often secure properties that aren’t available online. This exclusive access can be a game-changer for time-poor families, giving them an edge in a competitive market.
“Farmers are busy,” Rob says. “They might only have two or three days to view properties, so I make sure their time is well spent, arranging private inspections that line up with their schedules.”
Rob’s service also extends to connecting rural sellers with buyers.
“When rural owners no longer have use for their coastal apartment, I can connect them with another country family looking to buy,” he says. “It’s all about building long-term relationships and ensuring both parties benefit.”
If you are looking for a trusted, experienced and service-oriented agent on the Gold Coast, make Rob Lamb your choice for connecting country to coast.
For more than two decades, we’ve proudly helped Southport School families buy and sell with confidence.
As a former Old Boy and now a proud TSS parent of two sons in year 9 & 11, my connection is more than traditional -it’s personal.
School families enjoy more than expert service - take advantage of an exclusive commission rate, marketing contributions, and lower property management fees. Let’s chat about your next move today!
