As a keen traveller I am always grateful for the opportunity to spend time living in another country. Not only do you learn a great deal about another culture, you learn a lot about yourself, so congratulations for choosing to challenge yourself in pursuit of this kind of experience.
At Hervey Bay State High School we pride ourselves on being a school where everyone is welcomed. We focus on helping you to reach your full academic potential and to develop global citizenship skills, social confidence and responsibility.
Our school environment encourages intellectual curiosity, independent thought and effective learning habits, and we treat students as individuals with potential, unique strengths and interests. I believe that as a school we can add value by supporting you to achieve in an inclusive community in which all students feel challenged, valued and successful.
We look forward to meeting you and making your Australian experience enjoyable.
