The Anglican Church Grammar School (ACGS), formerly the Church of England Grammar School and commonly referred to as Churchie, is an independent, Anglican, day and boarding school for boys, located in East Brisbane, an inner suburb of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
Founded in 1912 by Canon William Perry French Morris,[1] Churchie has a non-selective enrolment policy and currently caters for approximately 1,800 students from Reception to Year 12,[2] including 150 boarders from Years 7 to 12.[3] It is owned by the Corporation of the Synod of the Diocese of Brisbane.[4]
Churchie is a founding member of the Great Public Schools Association of Queensland (GPS),[5] and is affiliated with the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia (AHISA),[6] the Independent Primary School Heads of Australia (IPSHA),[7][circular reference] Independent Schools Queensland (ISQ),[8] the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference (HMC)[9][10] and the Australian Boarding Schools' Association (ABSA).[3] Churchie is also an International Baccalaureate World School[11][12] offering the Diploma Programme and Primary Years Programme.
Churchie, widely recognised as one of Brisbane's most prestigious schools,[13] is among Australia's richest based on earnings and donations from alumni.[14] In 2009, the school raised $30.9 million in fees, charges, parent contributions and other private sources, 26.5 per cent more than any other school in southeast Queensland.[14][15] In the same year, Churchie also received $7.7 million in donations, primarily from alumni.[16] This figure was the second highest in Australia, surpassed only by the donations to Sydney Grammar School.[16]
