Welcome to Rockhampton State High School

At Rockhampton State High School, we are proud to provide a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment where every student's learning and wellbeing are our highest priorities. Guided by our commitment to Equity and Excellence, we strive to ensure that every learner is engaged, challenged, and supported to achieve success.

Our dedicated teachers and staff work in partnership with families to deliver high-quality teaching and learning through systematic curriculum delivery and differentiated practices. We empower students to take ownership of their learning and to strive for personal excellence. Through high expectations of learning, consistent routines, and a culture of respect, we challenge every learner to achieve their best possible outcomes.

Beyond the classroom, Rockhampton SHS offers a wide range of co-curricular and extra-curricular opportunities designed to enrich student experiences and celebrate success. These programs reflect our commitment to developing well-rounded individuals who contribute positively to their community.

Our school has a proud history and a reputation built on achievement, respect, and collaboration. Looking ahead, we are focused on strengthening instructional leadership, embedding high-yield pedagogical practices, and implementing a multi-tiered system of support to ensure every student feels a sense of belonging and engagement and the unique learning needs of students are recognised. We value the strong partnerships we share with parents, carers, and our community, including the active support of our Parents' and Citizens' Association. Their contributions enhance our resources, environment, and decision-making, ensuring our students have the best opportunities to succeed.

Thank you for being part of our school community. Together, we continue to make Rockhampton State High School a place of learning, growth, and success for every student.
