Old Grammarians’ Career Mentoring Program

The Ballarat and Queen’s Old Grammarians’ Career Mentoring Program is designed to support young Old Grammarians who are in the first 5-10 years of their careers. Through the program, young Old Grammarians will be matched with an experienced Old Grammarian mentor.

From vests and caps to umbrellas and wine glasses, we have something for everyone. Show your school spirit whilst supporting the BQOGA!

Old Grammarians’ news

We love hearing news from our Old Grammarians. To share your story or if you know an Old Grammarian who has an interesting career or achievement, you can complete our alumni update your details form, in particular the news section. We look forward to hearing from you!

Reunions and events

Our Old Grammarians are invited to attend our school events such as gatherings, performances, career and sporting events, and other events held throughout the year.

We extend a warm welcome for you to attend your peer year reunions – we hold two-year and five-year reunions, a Gala Reunion (10, 20, 30 & 40 years), and our 50 + Luncheon. Reunions are a great opportunity to reconnect, reminisce and enjoy the company of old friends.

It is our aim to involve as many of your peer year (the year you completed/would have completed year 12) as possible, including those who may have left at other times but identify best with this year group.

To ensure you receive invitations to relevant events, please update your contact details via our alumni update your details form.
