Welcome
PRINCIPAL'S
Welcome to Rockhampton Girls Grammar School—a caring, connected community where every girl is known, valued and supported.
For 134 years, our school has stood proudly as the premier Prep to Year 12 day and boarding school throughout Central Queensland and beyond. Our rich history and traditions continue to shape who we are today, while our forward‑focused approach ensures our girls are prepared to thrive in an ever‑changing world.
At Girls Grammar, our contribution to society is clear and unwavering: we educate and nurture influential young women who contribute passionately and confidently to our diverse and ever-changing society.
From their earliest years through to Year 12, our girls are surrounded by an environment designed especially for them—one that empowers their voices, nurtures their strengths and supports them to realise their potential. Here, girls grow into leaders of character who are empowered to pursue any pathway they choose.
Our focus on high‑quality teaching ensures that every girl is challenged, supported and inspired.
We foster curiosity, critical thinking, creativity and collaboration while equally nurturing emotional intelligence and wellbeing.
Boarding is central to who we are. As a boarding school, not just a school with a boarding program, Girls Grammar is home to a vibrant, deeply connected, warm and inclusive community. With over a quarter of our students calling our campus home, our boarding community is a place of belonging where lifelong friendships, memories and meaningful connections are made that last a lifetime.
Choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions you will make for your daughter.
At Girls Grammar, we value our partnership with families and are committed to nurturing each girl’s unique gifts, talents and aspirations. We would be delighted to welcome you to our campus, show you our beautiful school and share how Girls Grammar can support your daughter to become the confident, capable and compassionate young woman she is meant to be.
I look forward to welcoming you.

CLEVER
Our girls need to be clever. This can be achieved with research-backed teaching methodologies. A broad curriculum, supported by fit-for-purpose technology and resources, will allow them to explore all their options and keep future pathways open. Our work is centred on academic excellence and we also know that success means something different to every girl. Each girl’s progress is individually tracked - and much more than twice a year! Helping your daughter achieve her first choice of university course or career is our core business.

CONFIDENT
Our girls need to be confident. Participation in sporting, cultural and enrichment pursuits offers your daughter the chance to learn lifelong skills and capabilities including leadership, public speaking skills, sporting prowess, competitiveness and teamwork. At Girls Grammar, we prioritise the holistic development of our girls so that they grow as well-rounded, confident, curious and strong individuals!

CONNECTED
Girls need to be connected and Girls Grammar provides a strong sense of family and community. We provide opportunities for our girls to connect and build positive relationships so that the worth of every individual is acknowledged and valued. Our connections are further developed through our Old Girls Association, a rich community of women who serve and engage in our school community and work towards the improvement of women's education in Central Queensland. Your daughter will become a part of a family network of Alumnae around the region, the state, the nation and the globe. Who knows where these links may take her? Who knows what she will be able to do as a future Girls Grammar Girl?
