Our commitment to academic excellence is reflected in our innovative learning environments. We continually strive to create spaces that inspire and engage our students, fostering a love for learning that lasts a lifetime. Our teachers, trained in the Dimensions of Learning and the Art and Science of Teaching frameworks, are highly experienced educators who know how to bring out the best in our students.

We actively curate opportunities for our students to express their ideas, take on leadership roles, and contribute to the school’s success. This empowers our students to become proactive, confident leaders who are ready to make a positive impact on the world.
Quality teaching facilitates quality learning. We analyse each student’s abilities and academic opportunities through data collection to craft a Personalised Academic Action Plan.

Our Gifted and Talented program challenges our high-achieving students, while our Learning Support program provides additional assistance to those who need it.

Our students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 took part in the National Assessment Programme for Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) again in 2024. There are five core areas that are mandatory in all schools across Australia, which include numeracy, reading, spelling, grammar, and writing. These tests provide a snapshot of how well children are performing in those areas across the country.
For the Class of 2024, the ATAR results represent the culmination of 13 years of education. The entire Ipswich Girls’ Grammar School including Ipswich Junior Grammar School community is immensely proud of the remarkable achievements of our Year 12 cohort. While academic results are just one aspect of education, the ATAR scores mark a significant milestone in our students’ academic journeys.
Achieving high academic standards requires sustained effort, disciplined organisation, and unwavering resilience. We commend our students for consistently embodying the school values of diligence, excellence, and integrity.
We also want to acknowledge the crucial role of our teaching staff in supporting our students throughout their educational experience. Additionally, the success of our students is greatly supported by their families and close friends. It truly is a team effort.
