The Rockhampton Grammar School is a non-denominational co-educational school catering for students from early childhood to Year 12. The School consists of a well resourced city campus, an Early Learning Centre, a rowing centre on the Fitzroy River and an Outdoor Education Centre located 4 kilometres north of Emu Park on the Keppel Coast. It is the largest regional co-educational boarding school in Australia, with accommodation for up to 360 students in modern, air conditioned accommodation. RGS is structured into four separate schools (Early Learning Centre, Primary, Middle and Senior), each led by a Head of School. Student numbers are kept at a level that is large enough to support a diverse and rich curriculum but small enough to provide proper care and attention for every girl and boy. The School community is one that is caring, supportive, challenging and relevant, whilst also being respectful of the School's history, values and traditions. The School's motto 'Macte Virtute Et Litteris' (Grow in character and scholarship) captures not only the expectation that every student will seek to do their very best in all that they undertake, but also the School's commitment to the learning and development of each student. Grammar's teaching and learning programs are child centred and promote the deliberate development of higher order thinking processes, intelligent behaviours and actions, and a dedication to learning throughout life. The School's teachers are committed to working with their students to help them achieve to the highest standard in all of their endeavours, and through partnerships with parents the School strives to make each student's dream a reality. The Rockhampton Grammar School offers academic programs that are challenging across all grades, and which provide a number of different pathways (OP and non-OP) that can be travelled by students together or separately through an innovative timetable. In addition, the School offers all students the types of programs that develop them both intellectually..
