About Ballarat Grammar School
Ballarat Grammar School, Victoria, is an independent Anglican all-through co-educational boarding school catering for pupils from early learning through to year 12. It has about 1,500 pupils.
The school was established by the Anglican Diocese in 1911, but can trace its roots back to 1877, when its predecessor institution Queen’s College (which later merged with Ballarat to form the current school) was founded.

Facilities
Ballarat Grammar School, Victoria, has three campuses. The main campus, known as Wendouree, is set in 16 hectares and is located near the beautiful Lake Wendouree; the 50 hectare Mount Rowan farm campus - located at the foot of Mount Rowan to the north of Ballarat city, is where the school’s year 4 programme and agricultural studies are run; and the City Cite campus, located in the business district of Melbourne, which hosts year 9 students for three weeks. An extensive parkland campus near Lake Wendouree hosts a flourishing community of learners, boys and girls, attending Ballarat Grammar. Over 200 of the students live in family-oriented boarding houses. The School’s focus is on the education of the whole person, and engagement with wider communities, locally and globally, develops thriving, happy, well-grounded individuals intent on establishing their pathway in the world.
The youngest will enter our new purpose-built Centre for Early Education at age 3. Year 7, at the commencement of secondary schooling, is the other major entry point, and boarders enter in Years 7 – 11.
School ethos
In the Anglican tradition, positive relationships underpin the growth of academic, emotional, spiritual and physical wellbeing within a highly-developed pastoral care program. Breadth of endeavour is important, and high-achieving students are active in academic extension pursuits, as well as in music and performing arts, sports, outdoor education, and community service.
Through Round Square links with 70 schools internationally, about sixty Grammar students each year further their education overseas, on exchange, on service projects or at conferences. Grammar is host to students from twenty different countries: a testament to the School’s reputation internationally.
