At 黑料吃瓜资源, we believe that every child deserves a great education regardless of their family鈥檚 finances. Our new Open Door Scholarships have been created to make a Grammar education accessible to more families across the Blue Mountains 鈥� families who share our values and聽 aspirations, but for whom independent schooling may have felt out of reach financially.
This is our first means-tested scholarship program. It represents a tangible expression of our belief that education is one of the most powerful ways to shape a better world 鈥� for individuals, families, and communities alike.
We invite families to apply now for 2026 enrolment. For a confidential conversation with our Registrar please email opendoor@bmgs.nsw.edu.au or call 4757 9023
