Parent Involvement
The School operates an "open door" policy and encourages parents to be involved in their children's education.
The Red and Black Association is the major parent support group. It meets every second Friday of the month with the Headmaster or his representative. A sub-committee of the Association, the Uniform Committee, advises the School on uniform matters. The Association also operates the Red and Black Shop which sells uniforms, books and stationery.
Another sub-committee, The Boarder Parent Association, meets formally four times a year. This Association is concerned with the welfare of the boarding students and provides a vital communication link between The Rockhampton Grammar School and its far-flung boarding families.
Parents play a vital role in the Primary School's reading programme and in the Lower Primary's cooking and swimming programmes. They support the School's co-curricular programme through membership on various supporter committees, as well as coach or manage School groups and tours. The Rockhampton Grammar School conducts a level 1 coaching course that is available to all parents.
