Old Grammarian’s Association
Once a Grammarian, Always a Grammarian
The Ballarat and Queen’s Old Grammarians’ Association (BQOGA) is the essential link between the School and past students from Queen’s College, Ballarat Grammar School, Queen’s Church of England Girls Grammar School, Church of England Grammar School, and Ballarat and Queen’s Anglican Grammar School.
The Association was formed in 1974 and keeps a vast network of more than 11,000 friends, business contacts, and mentors connected through various annual events.
The goal of the Association is to encourage communication between the School and past students to ensure memories are nurtured and celebrated. It focuses on:
- Fostering good fellowship among all past students.
- Preserving the rich heritage of the School and its predecessors.
- Nominating representatives to the Ballarat Grammar Board and Foundation.
- Supporting and encouraging present students at the School by providing scholarships and bursaries, as well as other awards in recognition of outstanding effort or achievement.

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.
