Ipswich Junior Grammar School

Ipswich Junior Grammar School is south-east Queensland’s only co-educational Grammar primary school. We are strong believers in the virtues of co-education in the formative years, when children are developing critical life skills that will support them emotionally, physically and socially across their entire lives. Our mission is to excel at providing each boy and girl with a positive, personalised, holistic education in a safe, first-class learning environment. For more than two decades, Junior Grammar has offered boys and girls exceptional learning experiences with dedicated, caring teachers. Junior Grammar parents see us as a family-friendly, high performing and well-resourced school that provides a holistic education with a strong focus on academic excellence and pastoral care. The attention given to the individual learning and emotional needs of our boys and girls sets us apart from other schools. Our curriculum is a balance of traditional and modern subjects combined with contemporary teaching and learning practices. We are innovative, whilst upholding uncompromising standards in literacy and numeracy, with every child exposed to a balanced curriculum that encourages higher-order thinking and curiosity. Our high standard of behaviour and positive reinforcement encourages our boys and girls to work hard in a safe and nurturing environment. Junior Grammar’s spacious, air-conditioned classrooms are located in beautifully landscaped grounds with open natural play spaces and a rainforest walk with boardwalk, rockeries and frog pond. Our boys and girls have access to first-class facilities throughout the wider school campus, including a dedicated library, gymnasium and pool, fitness centre and human movements laboratory, state-of-the-art science laboratories and Health Centre staffed by a registered nurse. It is our desire that Junior Grammar students are ‘happy to come to school; happy while they are at school; and happy when they leave school each day’… and… they are! Our students are highly engaged and want to come and learn each and every day. At Ipswich Junior Grammar we are a happy, friendly school with a warm and welcoming community. We are a family. We warmly invite you to visit Junior Grammar and see for yourself why we are so proud of our students and our school.
