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 2018 our School Council completed a 10 year Strategic Master Plan.
Integral to this plan is our Graduate Student Attributes, which will guide the
development of our young people through their secondary schooling. 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.
Ninety percent of eligible students
achieved OP 1 - 15 in 2018, including two OP1s and 16% OP 1-5. One hundred
percent of graduates finished school with a qualification (QCE, VET or SAT),
with 98.7% of graduates completing their QCE. Congratulations must go to our students on
these outstanding results, and to the teachers who taught them.
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 (two silver medals in
2018), 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
Year 7 in 2020. Provisional
accreditation to host international students will complement the school’s focus
on developing 21st century skills for the global economy.
