Education > Middle School - Years 7 to 9

Ipswich Grammar School implements strategies to ensure the educational, emotional and physical transition for each boy is as smooth as possible. These years can be a time of turbulence as they face demands that quite often do not coincide with their level of intellectual and emotional development.

Across Years 7, 8 and 9 there is an emphasis on identity relationships, purpose, success, rigour, teamwork and safety. A seamless curriculum ensures there is a smooth transition between primary and senior school.

The academic program is intellectually challenging and empowers young men to learn. The provision of a supportive environment with a broad offering of subjects, structured literacy programs and enrichment activities assists students in productive learning. The curriculum is learner centred, collaboratively organised, flexibly structured and well resourced.
