Our three key focus areas are 'Respect, Responsibility and Resilience' – these underpin everything we do at Kingaroy State High School.
Focus area 1: Responsibility
Knowing each student's learning progression is essential to making sure they are on track for positive educational outcomes. Setting clear expectations for every student and how our school supports them to achieve. This means we:

The diversity of our staff, students and school community is our greatest strength. By valuing culture and creating inclusive teaching and learning environments, we are driving equity and excellence. This means we:
- Embrace diversity by creating welcoming, inclusive and accessible educational settings

Focus area 3: Resilience
Being healthy, confident and resilient is a foundation for engaging in learning. With a focus on wellbeing of all staff and students, we create a sense of belonging and a positive environment for teaching and working. Designing and delivering meaningful pathways for every student is key to lifting learning outcomes. This means we:
- Know each student and understand what works best for them
- Recognise the importance of engagement and wellbeing for staff and students in achieving learning outcomes
I am looking forward to having you as part of our school community.
