The Range Convent and High School, Heritage Catholic school in The Range, Rockhampton, Australia.

The Range Convent and High School stretches across multiple buildings at 263 Agnes Street, featuring educational facilities, dormitories, and a chapel with imported stained glass windows.

Established in 1873 by the Sisters of Mercy as the sixth foundation in Queensland, the institution relocated to Athelstane Range in 1895 due to expansion requirements.

The complex incorporates gardens, courtyards, and a cloister area with a grotto, creating spaces for both education and spiritual reflection within the Catholic tradition.

Middle Hall contains multiple classrooms designed for various subjects, with large verandahs and ventilation systems to maintain comfort in the Queensland climate.

The school constructed what records indicate as the first swimming pool at any educational institution in Rockhampton, completed in 1926.
