Welcome to Kingaroy State High School
Kingaroy State High School is located in the heart of the rural South Burnett region, approximately 250 km north-west of Brisbane. With a proud history dating back to its official opening on 8 August 1959, our school is dedicated to preparing students for their chosen post-school paths, embodying our motto, Integer et Diligens (Integrity and Diligence—Honest and Hardworking).
As a co-educational state high school, we offer a comprehensive education for students from Years 7 to 12. Our students are encouraged to engage in a wide array of co-curricular and community activities that enrich their learning experience. These include instrumental music ensembles, team and individual sports, public speaking, the Duke of Edinburgh Award, choir, show cattle teams, agricultural programs, and international exchanges with our sister school in Japan.
Our staff are committed to professional growth, with all team members actively participating in ongoing professional development. Parents and caregivers are integral to our community, offering strong support to the school’s endeavours.
Kingaroy State High School has seen steady growth in enrolments, a trend we expect to continue. This growth has allowed us to expand our facilities, including the recent addition of the Kingaroy Performing Arts Centre (KPAC) and a major upgrade of our Agriculture facilities. We offer a diverse range of pathways for Senior students, including VET and academic options, while our Junior students follow the Australian Curriculum.
Our school’s spirit is reflected in our four houses—Palmer, Youngman, Lavarack, and Bradfield—which compete in annual events like athletics, swimming, and cross-country. Lunchtime competitions in netball, volleyball, and touch football also build camaraderie, often based on house groupings.
We are committed to the wellbeing of our students, creating a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment. We celebrate diversity, promote respect, and strive to foster a positive culture where every student feels valued and empowered to succeed.
