[edit] ipswich grammar
I am a student at Ipswich Grammar School. There has been alot ot work around the school lately, the Teaching Complex has been refurbished and so has the tuckshop. The Junior schol, which is now P-6 (7 now being a part of the "Middle School"), has been greatly explanded and now has a "Sports Dome", which has indoor cricket, beach volleyball and a basketball court. All the classrooms in the main classroom block now have airconditioning and so do all of the computer labs. Mr. Berry, the librarian for the school for over twenty years, left us last year and was replaced by Mr Cunningham, who was orriginally from Forrest Lake.
[edit] Editing irrelevant info
What you've put here is not what we need to know:
Famous person Ben Whedon currently attends IGS and is in grade 12.He was often reffered to as "postman" by Mr. Bell who left igs last year.
I'm getting rid of it now. DarkTurtle 09:47, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Dane Edwards
This Dane Edwards stuff sounds like vandalism. Can someone who is at the school confirm or deny this? I left the school in 1994, and there was definitely no Dane Edwards there. The OP system was introduced during my time at the school. - Richardcavell 09:19, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Vandalism
This vandalism is becoming very tedious. If we could semiprotect the page for a short while then the vandal(s) would get bored. - Richardcavell 12:51, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Recent edit by Joellie
The recent edit might actually contain some useful information.
As I remember, it was St Mary's that was one street away and that IGS had the feud with. During my years (1990-1994), there were end-of-year all-in brawls between the students, and also some of us sent bomb scares to their secretaries. Or was that St Edmund's?
Also, is it the case that the 'Hail IGS' warcry is for secondary students only? - Richardcavell 04:59, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
- St Mary's is (or at least was) a girl's school so I really hope IGS boys were not engaging in all-in-brawl with the St Mary's students. I attended IGS from 1986-1991 and don't recall any all-in-brawls. Robert Brockway 03:29, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hail IGS
The junior school doesn't do warcrys
on a side note - The GPS bodybuilding competition is rather unofficiol and takes place twice a year at the BGGS gym.
[edit] Thugonomics
Can someoen please explain to me why this section was removed? It's highly relevant to this page
- It seems a bit silly. If you want it to go back in, please consider creating an explanation here on the talk page. - Richardcavell 22:59, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Tournament of Minds victory
Whilst certainly not denigrating the performance (I know how hard it is to perform well at it), perhaps a separate page detailing modern sporting and academic achievements is more appropriate. As I have been out of the loop for... four years now (Senior of '02), perhaps someone with more recent knowledge is more equipped for the task. At any rate, the section as written lacks an NPOV, though this could be rectified. The alternative is deletion of the section - and relying on the link to the school.

[edit] GPS Track and Field 2006
While IGS did lose the annual track and field competition for last year, the comment is inappropriately phrased.
"In 2006, IGS had their arses kicked in GPS Track & Field, showing that efficiency dropped in training which caused them to lose a running title championship which would lead into a decade in 2007"

Further to - do we need two trivia items on the same run?
