The School's campus is located in central Ipswich. It features a mixture of historic buildings from its inception in 1892 and more modern facilities added over the years. The buildings are spread around the campus, interspersed with many green areas and gardens. Facilities include the performing arts block, state-of-the-art graphics and art studios, gym, swimming pool and specialised language classrooms. ==New buildings==

Following a devastating fire that destroyed the science block in the Senior School on 27 August 2005, IGGS has embarked on a major building program. Two new buildings were constructed after several years of negotiations undertaken by the school's board of trustees and executive; these buildings cost over $20 million and were completed by the beginning of the 2009 school year. ==Notable people== Students: • Heather Bonner, Indigenous rights activist • Zora Cross, poet, novelist and journalist • Dakota Davidson, AFL Women's player • Bryony Duus, soccer player and coach • Deb Frecklington, Member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly • Eleanor Constance (Ella) Greenham, first Queensland-born women to graduate a medical degree • Bronwyn Harch, research statistician, academic • Vi Jordan, the second woman to be elected to the Queensland parliament • Kate Lutkins, AFL Women's player • Rachel Nolan, the youngest woman elected to the Queensland parliament Teachers: • Caroline Barker, artist, taught art at the school 1921–1922 • Mary Dunstan Wilson, Sister of Charity and educator ==See also==
