About the School
Bribie Island State High School is a co-educational secondary school located on an Island with a population of approximately 18,500, situated 100 kilometres north of Queensland's capital city. The school opened its doors to its first student intake on January 23, 1989 with 300 students. Our school is far more than a provider of an academically rigorous education. We think about our students as young men and women; we care for them and about them, and we have high expectations of them - and ourselves. As educators we are constantly searching for new ideas, and the latest research to inform what we provide to our students and how we deliver it. We work hard to prepare every student to 'challenge the future' through inspiration, innovation and developing resilience. Our community takes pride in the fact that students are given every opportunity to achieve or exceed their potential academically, culturally, in the sporting arena and socially.
