‘Supporting our young people to be motivated and buoyant learners of great fortitude is both meaningful and joyous. Together, with families and the broader community, we strengthen their capacity to become purposeful, discerning, and compassionate contributors.‘

Welcome! Geelong Grammar School (GGS) is truly a remarkable community. I trust that as you explore this site you will begin to understand the deep care that we have for our learners, both students and adults alike.
We have a strong culture of inclusivity at Geelong Grammar, and genuinely want all our learners to feel a sense of belonging and confidence to open their hearts and minds to the myriad of adventurous, positive, and creative opportunities available. When your child becomes a student at our School, you too become an integral part of our thriving, dynamic community.
It takes trust and commitment to gift us the privilege of educating your child; thank you for considering to partner with us. I am hopeful that in the future we can share further with you the vibrancy and vigour of Geelong Grammar School in person; it would be our pleasure to introduce you to the wonders of GGS.
