Competition
Ballarat Associated Schools (BAS)
BAS offers excellent opportunities for quality competition against other schools. Ballarat Grammar is considered one of the leading schools in this organisation based on our strong record of success and the number of teams and individuals we have competing weekly.
Independent Country Co-educational Schools (ICCES)
We joined the ICCES competition in 2015, extending sporting opportunities for our students. Being a member allows our swimming, athletics and cross-country teams to compete against like-minded schools from across Victoria.
House Sport
We have a very healthy House Sports Program, fostering House spirit and friendly competition. Major events throughout the year include our swimming, athletics and cross-country carnivals.
Community sport
Community sport is a significant part of Ballarat’s fabric. There are many excellent community sports teams and facilities only a short bus trip away.
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.
