About the School
Bracken Ridge State High School offers a safe and supportive learning environment for all our students where they are immersed in an environment of opportunity and aspiration. Our growing school is large enough to provide the breadth and depth of study options for students, but small enough to ensure that we know each child, what their strengths are and what we can do to help them achieve their aspirations. We accept that all people are individuals, possessing differing abilities, interests and values, and consequently, they deserve the flexibility necessary to experience success in a personal way. We must provide the opportunity for all students to maximise their potential, with an accent on quality. The Bracken Ridge State High School community operates with the core values of 'Commitment, Co-Operation, Courtesy, Consideration and Common Sense'. It is our ongoing intention is to work in partnership with parents to ensure each student leaves us with a clear understanding of these values.
