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

Chermside Road

We have a clearly marked drop-off and pick-up zone just before our main entrance on Chermside Road. To keep traffic flowing, we ask parents to keep their engines running while their child disembarks, or gets into, their car. To ensure all our students stay safe, please do not park or leave your car. 


Junior Grammar Drive Ring Road

Our Ipswich Junior Grammar School parents can make use of the Ring Road, a dedicated, fully-supervised, drive-in, drop-off and pick-up zone accessible from Torch Street.



Dedicated Bus Service

We provide our students with a private bus charter service that we share with 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 School account. 

Buses deliver students in time for the 8.15am start of the school day and depart from the School shortly after 3.00pm. 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.
