Education

A mother, father and two children smile during the school pick-up, as another girl carrying a backpack walks towards them — High quality education for your growing family

Providing great educational opportunities is a priority for the Rockhampton Region which boasts a wide array of educational facilities, from childcare, through to schools and on to tertiary education.

Schools

The Rockhampton Region is well served by 22 public primary schools, 4 public high schools and 18 private schools (some offering residential boarding facilities). Our schools deliver well-respected education at a fraction of the cost of tuition in Brisbane.

Before enrolling your children in a public school, make sure to check the relevant catchment area where you live. While you can generally apply to attend a public school outside your local catchment, a place won’t be guaranteed should you choose to do so.
