Boarding House Routines (Continued) - Ipswich Grammar School

Introduction
Boarding is a different and challenging way of life for the new student. As a boarder you will live in a community
with 100 other students at Ipswich Grammar. Inevitably a precise set of rules has to operate to ensure the smooth
running of the Boarding House. These rules ultimately protect your rights and also maintain a high standard of
personal conduct. As in the case of society, it is essential that citizens know the rules; thus parents and students are
requested to read these thoroughly.
Primarily the object of Ipswich Grammar’s Boarding House is to provide a suitable atmosphere in which learning can
take place. There is much more, however. You will be able to participate fully in the sporting and cultural life of the
school, be part of school life, and make new friends - friendships which often last a lifetime.
Students from different nations, states, backgrounds, and religions reside together in the Boarding House. This is
where the real education takes place including learning to be tolerant of others and learning to appreciate other
people.
Students enter Ipswich Grammar at a crucial stage of emotional and physical development. We aim to develop the
whole person, imparting skills, ensuring that students who depart are responsible young men in the community. That
is our challenge as resident staff and the individual student’s challenge.
