BGS is constantly evolving and its enduring success has been achieved through innovative practice and forward-thinking.

Our vision is to replace our ageing Science classrooms with a new STEAM Precinct – creating an environment that excites, engages and inspires both our students and their teachers and promotes deeper and richer learning.

The precinct will be far more than a new building to staff and students, it will be a hub for ideas, for innovation and for educational and social interaction.

The acronym STEAM – Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics – refers not just to these standalone disciplines but rather as a way of thinking. STEAM represents the skills required to process scientific method. This includes observing, forming questions, making predictions, designing and carrying out experiments, hypothesising and discussing projected outcomes. STEAM Education is an approach to learning that uses these disciplines as access points for guiding student inquiry, dialogue, and critical thinking.

The STEAM Precinct will be a physical extension of Brisbane Grammar School’s educational philosophy to develop critical, reflective and creative thinkers with the capacity and enthusiasm for independent, lifelong learning. The precinct will exemplify our commitment to be a thinking institution and will shape the way we educate BGS boys for decades to come.

The future is here.

Needs-based bursaries have been a priority at the School since students commenced in 1869. Today, bursaries ensure that BGS continues to honour its commitment to access and diversity.

The Bursary Fund was established to build an endowment for bursaries in perpetuity. With the principal invested and preserved, the income generated is used to expand fee-assisted access for students. The School aims to progressively increase the proportion of students offered bursarial support to 10% of the student cohort (170 students). These bursaries are offered to regional and Indigenous students and to families experiencing significant hardship.  

For this initiative to be sustainable, BGS must raise a further $1M to bring the Bursary Fund to $20M.

Your support will provide an opportunity for boys in financial need to attend Brisbane Grammar School.

100% of your gift goes to supporting BGS boys.

Brisbane Grammar School has a long tradition of providing financial aid to facilitate access to a BGS education. A school comprised of students from a range of socio-economic and cultural backgrounds provides irreplaceable experiences for students who will work in an ever-more diverse world, enriching both in-class and extracurricular activities. 

In 2016, the graduating class started a new tradition by establishing a Year Group Bursary in lieu of the customary valedictory gift to the School. Each cohort since then has been encouraged to pay it forward – to pass on the privilege and opportunity they will benefit from to someone else.

Since the beginning of 2017, parents who have made voluntary contributions are supporting their eldest son's Year Group Bursary (unless parents split donations between more than one sons' peer year). Voluntary contributions are tax-deductible donations on fee statements.

We encourage Old Boys to support their Year Group Bursary – your gift will provide boys with life-changing opportunities.
