Welcome
to RGS Primary
The teachers and staff extend a very warm welcome to The Rockhampton Grammar Primary School in 2021.
Thank you for entrusting us with your child’s ongoing education.
To spark curiosity from an early age, we use a student-based learning framework in our
Primary School. Getting off to the right start at RGS also teaches our Primary students
to respect themselves and others. We believe that through consistent and positive
behaviour management, we can nurture exemplary members of the community.
We know that you will enjoy being a part of the Grammar community, and we will do our best to ensure that
your time with us is productive and enjoyable. We pride ourselves on our professionalism, dedication and
care for our students and trust that you will help us maintain the high standard and integrity that we have
established.
The information contained in this booklet will provide you and your child with an insight
into the policies and procedures currently practised at our School. However, you
should always feel free to ask anyone of us should you need any clarification.
Early in Term 1, parents are also invited to a class information session where the teacher outlines the
programme for the year ahead.
We look forward to a successful partnership with you in your child’s future education.
Yours faithfully,
Geoff Hadwen Janet Spark
