Yeppoon State High School

 

Yeppoon State High School is located in the township of Yeppoon, on the coast of Central Queensland, 700km north of Queensland’s capital city, Brisbane. Approximately 15000 people live in this area.

Yeppoon State High School has approximately 1000 students from Year 7-12. The schools has a sister school relationship with a school in Japan and has hosted many exchange and international students over the years. The International program will only accept ten students at a time so you can be assured of personal, quality care and homestay.

Yeppoon State High School operates under five core values: respect, participation, safety, honesty, responsibility. These are at the heart of all that the school does, and their goal is to help students develop a range of academic and personal strategies that will
enable them to become active, informed and responsible citizens.

The staff at Yeppoon State High School is a blend of youth and experience. They approach their task with enthusiasm, compassion and a high degree of innovation and creativity. Because of this, many of our programs have been recognised throughout the state for their excellence.

The measure of any school lies in its capacity to enable every person to develop to the fullest. At this school we encourage all students to develop a personal vision for their future; we inspire them to find appropriate pathways to successful outcomes; we empower them to learn by providing them with strategies to access knowledge; and we consistently demand that they respect themselves, each other, and all those who they deal with in their quest for educational success.
