The Rockhampton Grammar School is an independent, co-educational, non-denominational, day and boarding school located in Rockhampton, Queensland, Australia catering to students from Early Learning through to Year 12.
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.
In 2007, the Rockhampton Grammar School Early Learning Centre was established, catering for children aged 6 weeks to Kindergarten. The Centre currently cares for approximately 100 children.
The four School houses are Wheatcroft, Wheatley, Kellow and Jardine, all being named after previous headmasters. Headmaster, Mr Islay Lee, retired at the end of the 2009 school year. Dr. Phillip Moulds, former deputy headmaster of Brisbane Grammar School, replaced him from 2010.
With approximately 350 boarding students Rockhampton Grammar is the largest co-educational boarding school in Queensland.

Famous quotes containing the words grammar and/or school:
“Grammar is a tricky, inconsistent thing. Being the backbone of speech and writing, it should, we think, be eminently logical, make perfect sense, like the human skeleton. But, of course, the skeleton is arbitrary, too. Why twelve pairs of ribs rather than eleven or thirteen? Why thirty-two teeth? It has something to do with evolution and functionalism—but only sometimes, not always. So there are aspects of grammar that make good, logical sense, and others that do not.”
—John Simon (b. 1925)
“It will be a great day when our schools get all the money they need and the Air Force has to hold a bake sale to buy a bomber.”
