Our School

Woven into QEGS’ unique DNA are the twin strands of academic excellence and extra-curricular opportunity. Our school offers a boy-friendly environment where every day is an adventure.

A place where boys belong

The badge, the camaraderie, the feeling of pride in the tie that lasts a lifetime and binds everyone together, the sense of endeavour that drives every achievement, all emanate from the values we live and breathe every day; Care, Contribute, Aspire. But what we value above all else, is seeing everyone enjoy the journey. Our aim is to provide an education that is precisely tailored to every boy’s individual needs, hopes and aspirations, and a myriad opportunities to make each journey a richly rewarding one.

Taste the Experience
Our boys have both been incredibly privileged to have had the best school experience and for both of our boys to have had such happy times where they have thrived, and made lifelong friends, then these years have really been priceless.
