​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Mabel Park State High School is an extraordinary school which prides itself on delivering an exceptional education experience. Located 20 minutes south of Brisbane and set in beautiful tree lined grounds, students enjoy a truly unique learning environment. With individualised and differentiated learning, students are part of a growing school community of almost 1,800 students. We take great pride in the richness of our diversity, embracing the 72 cultures represented by our cohort, united in a community committed to inclusion, connection and belo​​nging. We are very proud of the fact that 14% of our students are from an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander background, and 45% of our students are from a Māori or Pacific Island cultural background.  ​

Our reputation as a school, heavily invested in our students' academic wellbeing and our vision to be the most respected, admired and accomplished school, attracts the highest calibre of staff who are aligned in their commitment to the strong learning culture.  A focus on academic achievement both now and into the future is expressed both in terms of students' academic results and development as lifelong learners. Our teachers continue to innovate and remain at the forefront of proven and effective teaching and learning practices. Our combined efforts to go above and beyond for our students is evidenced through the ground breaking introduction of Queensland's first GP in School Clinic and the construction of Queensland's first ever Multi-Faith Centre.

Each and every one of our staff hold firm to the belief that our students are our future leaders.  This belief is reinforced through the implementation of Michael Fullan's six learning values of Character, Citizenship, Collaboration, Communication, Critical thinking and Creativity.

Innovative in our approach to Vocational Education and Training, students benefit from extensive subject selections including Hair and Beauty, Drone Technology and the award-winning Health Hub.  High Performance Areas across Sport, the Arts, Academia and Leadership, including our highly successful Rugby League Academy, iMPact Program and GEMS (Girls Excelling in Maths and Science), provide our students with additional opportunities to excel. 

As a school, we are exceptionally proud of the pathways we offer our students. Here at MP State, all students will leave our school with a meaningful pathway. Whilst at school, students will have the opportunity to study in many academic areas as well as non-traditional classroom settings. We are also very proud of our excellence sporting programs on offer, including Rugby League, Football, Basketball, Netball and AFL. There truly is something on offer at our school for every student, no matter your interest or passion. 

We look forward to welcoming you to the Mabel Park family.
