Since 1881, students from all walks of life have studied, lived, played, worked and grown on the iconic Archer Street campus of The Rockhampton Grammar School.
Fondly known to older generations as the ‘School on the Hill’, much has changed since our School's establishment by local families determined to have a first-rate school of their own in Rockhampton, but their founding spirit has never wavered.
We invite you to browse through the Giving opportunities outlined below. Please consider the options presented to you here, including The 1881 Endowment, Building RGS and The Kellow Fellowship, through a bequest, a major gift or annual giving.
“The bursary I received from the 1881 Endowment really changed my life. It opened my eyes up to bigger and better things and defined who I am.”1881 Endowment Recipient
Our Scholarship and Building Funds are endorsed by the Australian Taxation Office as a deductible gift receipt. Any donations over $2 are fully tax deductible.
The Board of Trustees, believing in the educational advantages available to young people at The Rockhampton Grammar School, established The 1881 Endowment in 2015, a School fund that enables means-tested students from all backgrounds to study here at reduced fees.
By opening our doors more widely to the community and accepting enrolment of children who otherwise would not attend the School due to financial reasons, the School is building on its tradition of developing young men and women of Character and Scholarship.
The Kellow Fellowship was founded to honour and acknowledge members of our RGS family who have and would like to make a provision for the School through their Will. Bequests to The Rockhampton Grammar School are given with much thought and consideration and are accepted with appreciation and affection by the School. Every gift in every Will makes a difference, however large or small.
You may nominate how you would like your gift to be directed. You may choose to leave a legacy which allows the School flexibility in applying your gift to areas of greatest need such as The 1881 Endowment or Building RGS. Alternatively, you may tailor your legacy to reflect your own special interests.
While a Rockhampton Grammar education is much more than just bricks and mortar, inspirational and engaging learning spaces are essential in fostering exceptional scholarship. A gift to the RGS Building Fund will help to provide outstanding infrastructure, which supports teaching excellence and drives student learning.
