Regan Gant Large Image.jpegMareeba State High School is an inclusive school with a great history of providing opportunities for every student. We are proud of our academic achievement, extensive curriculum, cultural richness, professional teaching, innovative practices, sporting champions and creative brilliance, all within a disciplined and caring environment.

Our school is proudly a part of the rural landscape of the Mareeba Shire. With an enrolment of around 800, students are provided with a personal approach which caters for their individual needs.

Providing each student with a pathway for personal success and achievement that continues in their life beyond school is guided by our school vision to develop quality education through a partnership of staff, students, family and the community. We aim to help students develop as independent life-long learners, who are morally and socially responsible, employable, and capable of making a positive contribution to our changing society. 

We are passionate about your child, our student, and provide a warm and supportive environment in which all children can grow with confidence. Underpinned by our four school values - Respect, Organisation, Learning and Safety, we develop the 'whole student' by focusing on a student's strengths to realise their character and achieve to their potential.

Student wellbeing is interwoven into the very fabric of our school and parents are encouraged and supported to become equal partners in their child's learning. This creates a community where students have a strong sense of belonging and connectedness, belonging, feeling safe, valued and happy.

Our staff are passionate professionals who are committed to helping students successfully achieve, no matter what it takes. We encourage innovation and promote a culture where skills and knowledge are developed so that our students are ready for the globalised world in which we live. Our achievement is a testament to our dedicated teachers who take great pride in creating rich and engaging educational programs that provide appropriate intellectual challenges and encourage all students to continually flourish. Examples of our innovative practices include the successful Curriculum Engagement Programs, Instrumental Music, Performing Arts Programs and Sporting activities.

For our students in the senior years, our school provides a well-balanced curriculum to cater for students wishing to pursue university courses, as well as those looking to take up an apprenticeship or join the workforce upon leaving school. Mareeba State High School promotes School Based Apprenticeships and Traineeships as a pathway to a variety of trades. Our strong industry links are backed up with quality resources available through our Trade Training facilities.

Our school prides itself on having high expectations in terms of achievement, behaviour and appearance. It is important to us that all members of our school community understand and support the high expectations of being a Mareeba State High School student.

There is so much to see and enjoy at Mareeba State High School. We invite you to visit and experience firsthand the many ways in which our great school can provide an outstanding education for your child. We invite you to become part of our community, encouraging all our students to strive to be the best they can.
