Officeworks School List Service
RGS is pleased to be partnering with Officeworks to supply families with their booklist requirements for 2025 - all from the comfort of your own home. Parents can choose their child's school and grade on the Officeworks website, and the essential books and stationery will be seamlessly added to their shopping cart. What’s even better? Items purchased online through the 'School List Service' are available at discounted 'Back to School' prices. Please click here for more information.
Here's how to order:
- Go to the Officeworks School List Service website
- Search for The Rockhampton Grammar School, and select your child's year level
- Review the booklist
- Remove any items your child doesn't need (ie. they may still have a ruler from the year before)
- Add any extra items your child might need (ie. a lunch box)
- Choose Home Delivery or Click and Collect
- Pay for order
The Red and Black Shop is the School's onsite uniform and supplies shop. The Shop sells new and second-hand uniforms, basic stationery and school merchandise. It is the exclusive supplier of RGS uniforms.
New Uniform Collection
The Rockhampton Grammar School was excited to launch a new uniform collection in Term 4 of 2024. The new uniform is now available to purchase at the newly refurbished Red and Black Shop.
We strongly encourage our new students joining us in 2025 to purchase the new uniform. The old uniform will not be available to purchase in 2025 and beyond.
The transition period for the new uniform spans just over two years, starting at the beginning of Term 4 in 2024 and concluding at the end of Term 4 in 2026. During this time, students may choose to wear either the current uniform or the new one, but mixing elements of both on any given day is not permitted (with the exception of the School Blazer).
We invite you to explore the new uniform collection here.
