Welcome to Caboolture State High School:

At Caboolture State High School, we focus on our community. Together, we are creating bright futures for our students by building on our proud traditions, ensuring every young person feels a strong sense of belonging and celebrating successes.

At the heart of our work is a simple but powerful set of questions:

• What do our students need?
• What do our teachers need?
• What do our families need?

These questions guide our decision-making and ensure we remain focused on what matters most for our community.

Our school celebrates diversity and firmly believes that our differences are our strength.

Through The Arts faculty students develop and thrive as creators and performers through access to high quality curriculum and extracurricular programs and experiences. Visual Art, Dance, Drama and Music students frequently engage in industry and place highly at a range of competitive events. Their work is showcased through school and community events and exhibitions.

Vocal and Instrumental students have experienced authentic industry pathways through connections to professional recording and production studios in Sydney and performances on local radio.

As a leading school within the Moreton Bay North Training Alliance, we explore and provide innovative vocational pathways and industry partnerships that connect students to real-world training, employment and future opportunities.
Student wellbeing, underpinned by our partnership with Real School, focuses on building a strong school culture through committed teachers, caring students and a connected community.

This relational and restorative approach is complemented by Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL), supporting the development of resilience, integrity and a strong sense of purpose, while strengthening a consistent, high-expectations culture. Our values of Persistence, Respect, Integrity, Diligence and Excellence (PRIDE) guide our daily work.

Step Into Your Next Chapter:

• Lead the school department to develop, articulate and commit to a shared educational vision focussed on providing quality learning outcomes for all students.
