The Rockhampton Grammar School

RGS follows the Australian Curriculum, organised through Marzano's New Taxonomy to develop higher-order thinking, and prepares senior students for an ATAR and university entry. The school offers 36 senior subjects and maintains 12 partnerships with schools around the world, giving students international links and exchange opportunities.

The school covers the Early Years in its Early Learning Centre, the Primary Years from Prep, where students work closely with a classroom teacher and specialist teachers, and the Secondary Years up to Year 12, which lead to senior studies and post-school pathways.

Under its motto 'Grow in Character and Scholarship', RGS aims to develop young people of good character as well as strong academic achievers. As an inclusive, non-selective school, it seeks to give every student a valid pathway to tertiary study or their chosen career, and to instil higher-order thinking and a commitment to lifelong learning.

The 7.5-hectare main campus includes classrooms for the early, primary and secondary years, boarding houses, a library, a health centre, a student café and the Red and Black uniform shop. RGS also uses extensive off-site facilities for sport, agriculture and outdoor education, and runs boarder buses for its residential students.

RGS has a thriving boarding community of around 325 students. Boarders live on campus with dedicated boarding staff, and the school operates boarder buses to help students travel between home and school.

The co-curricular programme encourages every student to 'have a go'. Activities include athletics, Australian rules football, basketball, cricket, cross country, football and futsal, golf, hockey, netball, rowing, rugby league and rugby union, softball, swimming, tennis, touch football, volleyball and water polo, as well as art club, cadets, chess, robotics, photography, public speaking, mooting, maths competitions, music and the school musical. Students can also join the Dance and Musical Theatre Academy, the cattle show team and the Duke of Edinburgh's Award.
