Transport
Our heritage-listed campus is located in the city of Ipswich and overlooks the beautiful Bremer River. We are on the corner of Queen Victoria Parade and Chermside Road, East Ipswich. Our main entrance is via Chermside Road.
Drop Off and Pick Up Zone
We have a clearly marked drop off and pick up zone for Ipswich Girls’ Grammar students just before our main entrance on Chermside Road. To keep traffic flowing, we ask parents to keep their engines running while their daughters disembark, or get into, their car. To ensure all our girls stay safe, please do not park or leave your car. Limited parking is available in our Visitor Car Park via our main entrance on Chermside Road for parents needing to visit the campus outside of these times.
Dedicated Bus Service
We provide our girls with a private bus charter service that we share with Ipswich Junior Grammar School and our brother school, Ipswich Grammar School.
Each year, our bus routes are revised in consideration of where our students live and how many stops/pick-up points can be accommodated along a route. For ease, the cost of bus transport is charged to your IGGS account.
Buses deliver students in time for the 8.15am start of the school day and depart from the School shortly after 3pm. Late buses, departing from 4.45pm, are available Monday to Thursdays for students who participate in activities after school.
All students wishing to use this shared charter bus service need to complete a Bus Service Application Form.
