Prospectus - Ipswich Grammar School

COMMUNITY
Officially opened in October 1863,
Ipswich Grammar School (IGS) develops
the leaders of tomorrow with a holistic
approach in and out of the classroom. As
Queensland’s first secondary school,
IGS is an integral part of the local
community and a developing community
within itself.
Working in conjunction with Ipswich
Grammar families and friends, the school
provides opportunities to develop young
men who make positive contributions
to the local, national and international
communities.
As well as a traditional academic
program, the Ipswich Grammar
curriculum covers various aspects of
life skills. An IGS education focuses on
academic, cultural and sporting success
to develop a set of core values within
young men.
Programs are in place to support students
of all ages and abilities based on their
individual needs. Ipswich Grammar
School’s blend of tradition, innovation,
creativity and forward thinking presents
a truly wonderful learning environment
that is designed exclusively for boys.
Ipswich Grammar School is a proud
member of the Great Public School (GPS)
system, which was established in 1918.
The GPS is regarded as one of the best
private school sports and extra-curricular
competitions in Australia and since its
inception has produced many national
and international-standard competitors.
