House system edit

Like many other Australian high schools, Ignatius Park is built upon a system of seven houses, with the introduction of the Putney House (named after Michael Putney) in 2014. Each house has one class per year level, which is divided into two separate homerooms from Year 7 through to Year 10, and combines as one through Year 12. These houses are the Baillie House, Carew House, Nolan House, Putney House, Reid House, Rice House and Treacy House.

Facilities edit

Ignatius Park College has over 40 pianos and 20 guitars, with the combined music room worth around $100,000.[citation needed] It has around ten computer labs for student use.[citation needed] The Edmund Rice Hall is used for assemblies, special events and community use. Ignatius Park is one of a handful of schools in Queensland with a 50-metre Olympic swimming pool.
