Grow in character and scholarship
School years should be a golden age for children, a time when they learn who they are, what they can do, and how to succeed in society. That’s why choosing the right primary and secondary education for your child is so important. The Rockhampton Grammar School has a reputation that extends throughout Australia. For over 130 years, the School has produced outstanding men and women who have been guided by the Latin motto, Macte Virtute Et Litteris, or Grow in Character and Scholarship. These are not merely words. They animate the spirit of everything for which the School stands. Students are offered a multi-faceted education based not only on academics, but also on the expectation that they will participate in co-curricular activities, sport and community service. The rounded nature of the student experience makes our School the most sought-after in Central Queensland.
