Ipswich Girls’ Grammar School is now accepting enrolments.
Ipswich Girls’ Grammar School is deeply committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive learning environment that values and celebrates the rich cultural heritage of First Nations peoples. Through the AIEF scholarship program and ongoing initiatives, we aim to ensure that Indigenous students have access to high-quality education, tailored support services, and opportunities to excel academically, socially, and culturally. Our commitment extends beyond the classroom, as we actively engage with local Indigenous communities, listen to their voices, and incorporate First Nations perspectives into our curriculum. We believe that by promoting equity and understanding, we are contributing to a brighter future for all our students.
This year, our AIEF scholarship recipients have demonstrated exceptional academic performance. Notably, three students were awarded Academic Improvement Certificates for their outstanding improvements across the curriculum. In addition, one of our Year 12 scholarship students successfully graduated from the Deadly Start program. Another student has chosen to follow a vocational pathway and is now enrolled in a TAFE course. She will receive her Certificate I in Construction and commence an apprenticeship. These achievements reflect the hard work, dedication and ambition of our scholarship students, as well as the support they receive through our program.
Beyond academic success, our AIEF scholarship students have actively engaged in a range of extracurricular activities, demonstrating leadership, creativity, and a strong commitment to community. One received a 15-year-old Highly Commended Award in Athletics, another received the QGSSSA Special Effort Award for Netball and another received the QGSSSA Encouragement Award for Volleyball. Outside of the school environment, we have actively supported our boarders in pursuing representative sporting achievements including one who represented multiple Met West and Queensland rugby teams, with her on-field success attracting interest from the Sydney Roosters NRLW Development Squad. Another student has been offered the opportunity to train with the North Qld Sisters Rugby League who are sponsored by the St George Dragons. One student led our First Nations community group with the Dahdi Group this year supporting our young First Nations students to connect with their culture whilst away from country.
The success of our AIEF scholarship program continues to have a profound impact on both the students and the broader school community. Through this initiative, our scholarship recipients have not only achieved their best academically, but have also grown as confident, culturally connected individuals. Their achievements highlight the importance of providing meaningful support to Indigenous students, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to fostering reconciliation through education. As we look to the future, we are dedicated to expanding opportunities for First Nations students and ensuring that our school remains a place of inclusion, equity, and cultural respect.
