Primary Booklist 2026 (all year levels)
Please note that students entering Years 9, 10, and 11 in 2026 should wait to purchase textbooks or stationery for elective subjects until their subject selections have been confirmed by the School.
RGS is pleased to be partnering with Officeworks to supply families with their booklist requirements for 2026 - all from the comfort of your own home. Parents 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. Please click here for more information.
Here's how to order:
Please note that for Secondary students, only 'general requirements' are pre-selected. Parents will then need to select the subjects their child is studying in 2026.
The Red and Black Shop is the School's onsite uniform and supplies shop. The Shop sells new and second-hand uniforms, basic stationery and school merchandise. It is the exclusive supplier of RGS uniforms.
The Rockhampton Grammar School was excited to launch a new uniform collection in Term 4 of 2024. The new uniform is available to purchase at the Red and Black Shop. The 'old' uniform is no longer available for purchase.
The transition period for the new uniform spans just over two years, starting at the beginning of Term 4 in 2024 and concluding at the end of Term 4 in 2026. During this time, students may choose to wear either the current uniform or the new one, but mixing elements of both on any given day is not permitted (with the exception of the School Blazer).
New students to RGS are strongly encouraged to wear the new uniform. However, students who have access to the previous uniform may continue to wear it until the end of 2026.
We invite you to explore the new uniform collection here.
Monday - Friday
7:30am - 10:00am & 12:30pm - 5:00pm
During the busy back-to-school period, the Red and Black Shop will offer extended trading hours to meet increased demand.
7:30am - 5:00pm, Mondays to Fridays
7:30am - 5:00pm, Mondays to Fridays

Appointments
Appointments for uniform fittings are required prior to visiting the Red and Black Shop. Please click here to book online.
Online Uniform Shop
The Red and Black Shop’s online store makes it easy to browse and purchase uniforms anytime, anywhere. You can choose to collect your order in person or have it delivered straight to your door.
For new students or those buying uniform items for the first time, we recommend visiting the Red & Black Shop in person to ensure accurate sizing through a fitting.
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.
Please note that new families commencing at RGS in 2026 will receive their Parent Lounge login details in mid-January 2026.
To download the app:
If you are experiencing any difficulties with the app, please contact the School's TASS Administrator.
