Yeronga State High School is a comprehensive high school with a long tradition of academic, sporting and cultural achievement. 'Quality Pathways to Success' is the school vision underpinned by the values of Quality, Harmony and Sustainability. Yeronga is a very harmonious school where students from the local area including those from diverse backgrounds mix together in a climate of mutual respect and support. One of our most distinguished alumni is 2008 Young Queenslander of the Year, Homa Forotan. The school's responsible-behaviour plan for students emphasises a culture of respect and the creation of optimum conditions for learning. Students are expected to be actively engaged in the learning process and develop their abilities to the upmost. This is embodied in the '5Ps' - student expectations of being positive, being punctual, being prepared, being productive and being proud. Yeronga's students are genuinely proud of their school and its achievements, and wear its uniform with pride. Yeronga SHS reflects the diversity of the suburbs surrounding the school and provides all students with the opportunity to succeed. Yeronga has a strong pastoral care program featuring dedicated form teachers, a Year 8 induction program (TIP), school camps in Years 8, 9 and 11 and an innovative leadership development program. Our NAPLAN data includes ALL students at the school (many who speak different languages) as well as those from high aspiring families who have spoken English all their lives. The school prides itself on 'Value Adding' to the learning of every student - from the exceptionally bright learner to those who experience difficulties with their learning. The school's strong 'pathways' focus has produced high level academic and vocational results for students - evidenced by the numerous OP 1-5 students who have graduated from the school as well as those with higher level Vocational certificates. People who visit the school go away with an acute awareness of why we believe Yeronga SHS is a great learning community.
