Part of Something Special

What Sets Us Apart

The Ballarat Grammar Difference

At Ballarat Grammar, we don’t shape students to fit a single mould. We celebrate individuality, bringing together diverse talents, perspectives, and values to create a vibrant and inclusive community.

"We understand clearly the magnitude of our responsibility, the trust that parents place in us, the trust and opportunity that every young person deserves. Our commitment is to nurture the whole child. We will build intellectual curiosity, instil learning agility and demonstrate learning mastery. We challenge our students to build character, creating lifetime habits that sustain health and wellbeing. Our students emerge adaptable and flexible, with the grit that allows them to be resilient in the face of life’s inevitable challenges."

Our Values, Vision & Mission

Guided by our long history and Anglican tradition, our values define what we stand for as a school and as individuals.

Our Campuses

Each campus provides a unique learning environment for students.

Beyond the Classroom

Embracing a Spirit of Adventure

Leadership & Service

We want our students to embrace the ethos, ‘from those to whom much is given, much will be required’. We believe that service and leadership are closely tied to one another. Service at Ballarat Grammar supports our focus on developing the whole person and links closely with our Positive Education Program and Round Square Program.

Outdoor Education

We believe successful learning happens when children better understand the world around them, are open to adventure and can participate in broad experiences. Our Outdoor Education Program helps students develop life skills and connect with the environment from their early years to Year 12.

Performing Arts

We offer a wide range of dance and drama learning and performance opportunities, drawing on the learning that takes place within the curriculum, with specialist teachers for Dance and Drama in both the Senior and Junior Schools.

Art, Design, and Technology

Creativity, problem-solving, and innovation are invaluable skills for every student as they progress in their lives and careers. Our Art, Design and Technology Program aims to nurture these traits throughout Years 7 – 12.

Wellbeing

Our wellbeing initiatives are designed to nurture our students’ physical, mental, spiritual and emotional health from CEEd to Year 12. Positive wellbeing is essential to a fulfilled life. We want to equip young people with the ability to flourish, rise to life’s challenges, accomplish tasks and achieve their goals.

Sport

We believe sport fosters determination, resilience and teamwork. Our comprehensive Sport Program offers something for everyone, and we have an impressive track record of participation and success across a wide range of sports.

Boarding

Boarding offers young people the opportunity to be fully engaged in school life and form strong connections within a supportive and inclusive community. Our students build lasting friendships with peers from diverse backgrounds, while feeling a genuine sense of belonging from day one.

Agriculture and Horticulture

Ballarat Grammar is a Victorian leader in agricultural education, with programs to engage young learners in agriculture from early childhood through to their final year of secondary school.

Acknowledgement of Country

Ballarat and Queen’s Anglican Grammar School acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we learn, live and work, the Wadawurrung People, and recognises their continuing connection to the land and waterways. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present and extend this to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People.

Commitment to Child Safety

Ballarat Grammar maintains a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of child abuse and actively implements measures to identify and manage any risks of harm to students within our school environment. The care, safety and wellbeing of children and young people are central and fundamental responsibilities of the School. We are firmly committed to fostering a child-safe culture that provides an environment where students are safe and feel safe, where their participation is valued, their views respected, and their voices heard in decisions that affect their lives. Ballarat Grammar values diversity and strictly prohibits any racist or discriminatory practices. All members of our school community share the responsibility to care for children and young people by promptly raising any concerns regarding their safety, promoting their wellbeing, and protecting them from all forms of harm or abuse.
