Ignatius Park College is proudly dedicated to boys: their spiritual, academic, social and physical growth as they approach maturity. The College's changing 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. As Townsville's only boy's school, we are uniquely placed to cater for their specific needs.

With its flexible approach to learning, small class sizes and idyllic location, Riverside Adventist School has much to offer Townsville families. We have swapped traditional classrooms for a more flexible learning experience. Flexible learning is an approach that is about really understanding a student’s educational needs. In some subjects they may need additional one-on-one support while in others they may be more advanced than their set year level. It is also about how we use our space and group our activities – you’ll find students reading on beanbags or working alongside each other on a rug or collaborating on the whiteboard tables. At Riverside our high teacher-student ratios mean that we can take the extra time to support students to thrive. Setting students up for success with its range of extra-curricular activities, Riverside focuses on building character in students to support them to be contributing citizens and not only tolerant but supportive and empathetic towards others.
