The Rockhampton Grammar School, Queensland

There are thousands of reasons why. The most important reason, though, is that parents, teachers, students and past students work together to provide every boy and girl every opportunity to do his or her best, every day.

Parents, teachers, students and past students - we are The Grammar Family and in every way, we are a learning community.

We are passionate about every individual student's education and character development in all aspects of their life, throughout life.

Rockhampton Grammar School students are active young women and men, inside and outside of School.

They take their education seriously, but through balanced academic, sporting, co-curricular and social activities, their learning is well-rounded, exciting, engaging and enlightening.

They participate proudly and contribute thousands of hours to causes and community organisations every year throughout Central Queensland, Australia and the world.

Their ideals, and the School's, are exemplified in our motto: Macte Virtute Et Litteris or Grow in Character and Scholarship.

We are Queensland's largest boarding school. Approximately 1400 day and boarding students, from all ages and backgrounds, are nurtured, respected and supported here.

Set on 7.5 landscaped hectares, the School is well-appointed and features two large sporting ovals, tennis courts, a 50-metre swimming pool, a multipurpose gymnasium/hall, a modern health care facility, dance studios, a professional theatre and more.

Our beachfront education centre, Ritamada, is located at Emu Park on the Capricorn Coast. The School also maintains a small farm at nearby Port Curtis and The RGS Rowing Club on the Fitzroy River, in town. In addition, students enjoy exclusive access to Belmont Station, the former CSIRO cattle research facility at Etna Creek owned by AgForce Queensland.
