The Rockhampton Grammar School is an independent, co-educational, non-denominational, day and boarding school located in The Range, Rockhampton, Queensland, Australia catering to students from Early Learning through to Year 12.

With approximately 350 boarding students, The Rockhampton Grammar School is the largest co-educational boarding school in Queensland.[citation needed]

History

The school was founded in 1881, and was originally a co-educational school before becoming an all-boys school, until 1976, when it again became co-educational.[citation needed]

In 2007, the Rockhampton Grammar School Early Learning Centre was established, catering for children aged six weeks to kindergarten. The centre currently cares for approximately 100 children.[citation needed]

The school has many buildings under development, including upgrades on the boys and girls dormitories to cater for the new Year 7s in 2015.[citation needed]

Some of the school's buildings were listed on the Queensland Heritage Register in 1992.[1]
