  Ipswich Girls’ Grammar School has offered girls a first-class, independent, non-denominational education for over 130 years. We are one of eight original Grammar Schools in Queensland. Ipswich Girls’ Grammar has a history of strong and successful women, some of whom were pioneers in their chosen fields. On March 1, 1892, Ipswich Girls’ Grammar School officially opens. Thirty-one girls start their secondary education under the charge of Miss Fanny Hunt. By the end of the year, 48 pupils are on the roll, six of whom are boarders. Our School motto is, and will always remain—Omnia Superat Diligentia—diligence overcomes all. Source: iggs.qld.edu.au/why-iggs/heritage-and-tradition/
