Ipswich Senior Campus is a vibrant community where students and staff form a close-knit family.
Located in a repurposed building at the top of town, our campus spans three lively levels, fostering a warm atmosphere that feels more like a home than a traditional school.
Diversity is at the heart of our community. We celebrate multiculturalism through various programs, including a vibrant mural designed by students, showcasing our unity and pride. Beautifully crafted totem poles at our entrance reflect our core values: respect, integrity, and community.
Our commitment extends beyond academics; we serve as a community hub, offering programs like Rainbow Chaos and the Next G Youth Group, which provide safe spaces for self-expression and connection.

Hi, I’m the Head of School of the Ipswich Senior Campus at Y Schools Queensland. With over 15 years of experience in formal education, I have dedicated my career to nurturing and inspiring young minds through various student-centred and coaching roles. My background in science fuels my passion for teaching math and science to secondary school students, where I strive to engage them in the wonders of science using dynamic and innovative methods.
I embrace the unique learning environment of the Y Schools, recognising the profound impact these schools have on students’ lives. Leading a dedicated team at Ipswich Senior Campus, I strive to support every student in achieving their best, ensuring they feel valued and empowered in their educational journey.
I treasure the opportunity to make a positive difference in my students’ lives, fostering a nurturing atmosphere that encourages both academic and personal growth. My commitment to student-centred education continues to inspire my colleagues and students, making me a passionate advocate for impactful learning experiences.
