The BUSY School is proud to announce the opening of our eighth school campus in the heart of Ipswich. Opening in term 1 next year, this is another step in our mission to support and empower disengaged students in years 11 and 12, guiding them towards attaining a senior school certificate (QCE), achieving employment outcomes and setting the stage for a bright future.
At the helm of the Ipswich campus is Principal Tim Gado, a dedicated advocate for education and student wellbeing. With extensive experience and a proven record of improving senior schooling outcomes, Tim brings valuable expertise to lead our Ipswich Campus.
“I’m thrilled to be a part of this dynamic and innovative organisation and lead the new Ipswich Campus as campus principal,” Tim said.
“The values I personally place on the importance of education resonate with The BUSY School philosophy of helping young people who have disengaged from mainstream schooling achieve high-quality educational and employment outcomes.
“I look forward to contributing to the success and growth of The BUSY School and being a part of a community that values excellence in education,” he said.
There has been a high demand and numerous requests to open a BUSY School in the region.
CEO of The BUSY School, Lee Aitken said The BUSY School has been consulting with the Ipswich community since early 2022 to understand local youth issues and how we can help young people who’ve disengaged from education.
“This has included local community groups, the school sector and local and state government representatives who were seeking more alternatives to support youth,” he said.
“The BUSY School will offer Ipswich disengaged youth an opportunity to re-establish their confidence, self-worth and motivation to achieve educational and employment outcomes through a flexible education program that combines academic studies, Vocational Education and Training (VET) and professional and personal development.”
The Ipswich campus is set to welcome year 11 students in term 1 next year and is currently taking enrolments.
