Community Partnerships
Stronger communities through collaboration
Our Partnerships
Ballarat Grammar is proud to partner with a range of organisations that strengthen our connection to the community, both locally and globally. These partnerships enrich student learning, support shared values, and create opportunities for meaningful collaboration beyond the classroom.
Round Square
Round Square is a worldwide network of innovative schools that share a commitment to the educational principles of Dr Kurt Hahn. It offers a framework for excellence, continuous improvements, and structured opportunities to collaborate and share experiences with like-minded peers worldwide.
As a member school of Round Square, our students have access to an incredible range of learning opportunities – whether it be broadening their thinking at an International Round Square Conference, experiencing adventure through service or exchange, and discovering a wider world through the Round Square network of schools.
International Baccalaureate World School
Ballarat Grammar is an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, authorised to deliver the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB PYP). IB World Schools share the philosophy and commitment to providing a high-quality, challenging, international education that is important to all our students.
Duke Of Edinburgh's International Award
Our annual participation in the DofE gives students an extra opportunity to explore their full potential and find their purpose, passion and place in the world. Participants are supported in developing in four areas: learning a new skill, improving their physical wellbeing, volunteering in their community, and experiencing a team adventure in a new environment.
Camp Australia
We proudly partner with Camp Australia to offer Outside School Hours Care (OSHC). Camp Australia is renowned for its commitment to child enrichment and providing a dependable, engaging, and stress-free OSHC service.
Their dedicated educators create a safe and inclusive environment where children can unwind, enjoy themselves, and develop socially and academically, while providing peace of mind for parents knowing their children are in capable hands before and after school hours.
CoRe
Ballarat Grammar is proud to be a member of the Communities of Respect and Equality (CoRE) Alliance. The CoRE Alliance is a region-wide approach to preventing violence against women and children in the Grampians. The CoRE plan defines “A safe, equal and respectful society for everyone”. The alliance invites all like-minded organisations, businesses, clubs and networks in the region to join together and work toward that vision.
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.
