**About the School**:
Meridan State College is situated in the fast growing western suburbs of Caloundra on the beautiful Sunshine Coast. The Primary campus opened in 2006, Junior Secondary in 2008 and the Senior Secondary campus in 2010.
Meridan is a Prep-Year 12 College and boasts a distinctive subschool structure which fosters the education of this broad age range of students in modern campuses which have been purpose designed to cater for each cohort at their specific age of development. Each phase offers a diverse and rich curriculum supported by quality teaching that gives our students a seamless progression through their 13 years of schooling. A dense rainforest divides the site creating an attractive environment and providing a separation of the sub schools. A boardwalk which transverses the rainforest links the sub schools and provides unique learning experiences for our students in a beautiful, natural environment.
While still a relatively new school, Meridan has already established a reputation as a high performing school with an emphasis on quality teaching and high standards of behaviour in a safe, supportive environment.
