Schoolbox App
New families (both parents) will receive an email (between the 8-10 of December) from informationservices@ipswichgrammar.com, to indicate that a parent account has been created in the Schoolbox App. The subject line will read “Welcome to Ipswich Grammar School”. (If you cannot see this email, please be sure to check your junk or spam emails before emailing datacoordinator@ipswichgrammar.com for assistance.)
This important email will contain instructions on how to log in and use the App.
Schoolbox is a unique all-in-one learning management system (LMS) which provides the tools for our staff, students, parents and groups to communicate from one easy location. You will have access to your son’s details such as current and past reports, attendance records and medical details. You can advise the school of any changes to your address, telephone numbers and email via the Parent Lounge.
Parents in Year 7 to 12 will have access to their son’s timetable and allocated elective subjects via Schoolbox in mid-December.
Subject Preferences
One parent receives an email from noreply@selectmysubjects.com.au with the subject line reading “Ipswich Grammar School elective subject selection 2026”.
Subject selections should be submitted by 31 October 2025. Submissions after this date should be emailed directly to your son’s Head of Year: mstafford@ipswichgrammar.com
Parents will be able to access their son’s timetable by using the Schoolbox App which will show his allocated subjects.
The below subject guides will also give you further information that will help you and your son in the subject selection process.
