Booklists

Officeworks School List Service 

Primary School

RGS is pleased to be partnering with Officeworks to supply families with their booklist requirements for 2024 - all from the comfort of your own home. Parents of RGS Primary students can choose their child's school and grade on the Officeworks website, and the essential books and stationery will be seamlessly added to their shopping cart. What’s even better? Items purchased online through the 'School List Service' are available at discounted 'Back to School' prices. 

Here's how to order: 

  1. Go to the Officeworks School List Service website
  2. Search for  The Rockhampton Grammar School, and select your child's year level
  3. Review the booklist
  4. Remove any items your child doesn't need (ie. they may still have a ruler from the year before)
  5. Add any extra items your child might need (ie. a lunch box)
  6. Choose Home Delivery or Click and Collect
  7. Pay for order

For more information, please see this detailed flyer.

How it works:

  1. Upload your child's book list via the  Officeworks website

  3. Review your order and quote

RGS Parent App

The School's main method of communication with parents is via the RGS Parent Orbit app. The app provides parents with a mobile friendly way to access School information and undertake various school-related tasks such as notifying student absences, checking the school calendar, completing excursion forms, reading Daily Notices, viewing your child's timetable, paying school fees, signing your child up for co-curricular activities and more. It will also enable the School to send notifications for time sensitive or essential information, such as event cancellations.

To download the app:

  1. Go to the Apple or Google app store on your mobile device.
  2. Search for 'Parent Orbit'. Alternatively, if you are currently on a mobile device you can use this link: https://parentorbit.page.link/rgs
  3. After downloading, enter 'rgs' as the school code.
  4. Enter your Parent Lounge username and password (new families to the School will receive their login details from the School in January 2024).

If you are experiencing any difficulties with the app, please contact the School's TASS Administrator.
