Holland Park State High School
is a boutique high school, selected by discerning parents making a deliberate
choice of a smaller high school for their children. In 2017, following the formation of a School
Council as part of the Independent Public Schools initiative, work commenced on
the development of a 10 year Strategic Master Plan . Parents are attracted by our high standards,
our focus on the individual child, our strong academic results and OP history,
our vocational pathways and tailored programs in the Senior School.
Eighty two percent of eligible
students achieved OP 1 - 15 in 2017, including an OP1 and 15% OP 1-5. One hundred percent of graduates finished
school with a qualification (QCE, VET or SAT), with 98.6% of graduates completing
their QCE.
Our signature programs such as
Triple E excellence classes produce outstanding academic outcomes for our
students. With our approach to
personalised learning, all students complete a Personal Learning Plan where they
learn to set goals and monitor their progress throughout the year. Our High Performance Volleyball program has
delivered National Championship winning teams, while tailored programs for
elite athletes have enabled them to combine their studies with international volleyball, diving and gymnastics
competitions, including the Olympic and Commonwealth Games. Creative programs
in Music, Art and Languages (Japanese and German) attract considerable
interest. The school has a long standing sister school relationship with
Tennoji Senior High School, Osaka, Japan.
The school is developing
bilingual and masterclass strands for talented students of Japanese, for
implementation in 2020. Provisional
accreditation to host international students will complement the school’s focus
on developing 21st century
skills for the global economy.
