Ipswich Junior Grammar School
The head of the Junior School is Karen McArdle, who is assisted by Lorna Liddell, who is also a Year 6 teacher. The Junior School is open from Prep through to Year 6. Year 7 is part of the middle school system. The Junior School, with the assistance of the P&F, organises many co-curricular activities, such as gymnastics, tai kwon do, school dances and music and drama lessons. For most purposes, the Junior School is distinct from the Senior School, and conducts its own assemblies, has its own pledge and organises its own activities. However, some facilities on the IGGS/IJGS campus are shared by both the Junior and Senior Schools, such as the gymnasium, hall and oval, and the School newsletter is published for all students from Prep to Year 12. The Junior School also provides many events both in and outside of school like interhouse swimming, cross country and athletics, cross country training, public speaking and holds evenings for parents and students to get together like music showcases and performances.
