Ignatius Park College is proudly dedicated to boys: their spiritual, academic, social and physical growth as they approach maturity. As Townsville's only boys' school, we are uniquely placed to cater for their specific needs.
The College's challenging academic programmes revolve around a recognition that boys think and learn differently from girls. Our routines and curriculum are therefore carefully structured to allow maximum personal growth within an environment tailored specifically to cater for boys' academic, physical and emotional development.
We offer a two-tiered approach to learning reflected in our College structure which provides a seamless transition from one phase to the next.
While Edmund had a concern to provide the poor with schools, he also wished to offer an education that affirmed and integrated Faith within a system of schools at the service of the Church mission. His emphasis on right relationships was not just exercising good pastoral care but was also showing reverence to the presence of God in all people.
The clear direction of social justice for all and of service to others within and outside the College Community presents a particular challenge to our Schools and to Ignatius Park. There have been growing efforts to transmit our Edmund Rice Ethos to the wider College community.
Many students and staff are involved in the newly formed Social Justice Group, the College St Vincent de Paul Society, Edmund Rice breakfasts, Edmund Rice Camps, the Blood Bank Appeal, experience and Service Learning activities. Each House adopts a particular outreach activity while the College as a whole assists many Local, National and International Charitable Organisations.
Students also have the opportunity to participate in visits to the Townsville Community Learning Centre, to work with other students from underprivileged backgrounds.
We are proudly dedicated to boys and their spiritual, academic, social and physical growth. As Townsville’s only boy’s school, we are uniquely placed to cater for their specific needs.
The College’s challenging academic programs revolve around a recognition that boys think and learn differently from girls. Our routines and curriculum are therefore carefully structured to allow maximum personal growth within an environment tailored specifically to cater for boys’ academic, physical and emotional development.
We provide a balanced and holistic education within the Edmund Rice network, building on the Christian Brothers’ proud tradition of educating young men as leaders of the community, with a strong focus on faith education and Christian living.
We pride ourselves in promoting structure, processes and relationships which build connections through the integration of academic and co-curricular programs that recognise the learning demands of boys. Having recently completed our College Master Plan, we are excited to begin enacting it as we commence the upgrade and modernisation of our campus which will support our students to reach their academic goals.
Our Pastoral system nurtures and challenges our boys to become confident, happy and responsible young men with a highly developed sense of social justice, where we strive to create an environment where each student can feel confident to achieve his potential.
Our prime focus is to promote the safety and wellbeing of students under our care. At Ignatius Park College we take our responsibilities for child safeguarding extremely seriously and therefore we commit to ensuring that all our schools have appropriate policies and practices to make them places that are both safe and inclusive. Our child safeguarding programs are regularly updated and checked for compliance with regulatory requirements.
We believe that Ignatius Park College students – the boys of today – have a vital role to play as outstanding young men of the future, with highly developed skills in leadership, critical thinking, creativity and emotional intelligence. Ignatius Park College offers a Liberating Education, based on Gospel Spirituality, within an Inclusive Community, committed to Justice and Solidarity.
We look forward to welcoming you to our community.
