House system As with most Australian schools, Ipswich Grammar School utilises a house system, whereby students are members of one of six houses for the purposes of intra-school activities. These houses, named after six of the longest serving Headmasters, are Hawthorne (yellow), Cameron (sky blue), Lawrence (red), Kerr (green), Henderson (black) and Ladley (royal blue). Students are allocated to a house on entry to the school and generally remain in the same house for their entire time at the school. Senior year students assist teachers in managing the students during events. Leadership In addition to the Year 12 students, the school elects one school captain, one vice-captain, a boarding captain and vice-captain. To assist these students a number of Year 12 prefects are elected. , some Year 11 students are elected as prefect at the start of Semester 2, to assist the Year 12s.
