Despite its name, the school is not a Grammar School established under either the Grammar Schools Act 1860 or the Grammar School Act 2016, distinguishing it from earlier established Grammar Schools in Brisbane, Ipswich, Rockhampton, Toowoomba, and Townsville. In 2016, the Queensland Parliament defined Grammar Schools to exclude "Sunshine Coast Grammar School." The legislation forbids a person from "establish[ing] or operat[ing] a non-grammar school under a name that includes the word ‘grammar’" and makes it an offence to "hold out a non-grammar school to be a grammar school." The legislation nevertheless permits Sunshine Coast Grammar School to retain its name.
