At Rockhampton State High School, we offer a strong culture of support to ensure that students grow and develop in a safe and caring environment. Students are provided with the opportunities that will allow them to reach their potential and to set the goals that will promote their personal growth and maturity. We believe in preparing students for the future which means providing a relevant and inclusive curriculum as well as the teaching practices that successfully accommodate the learning needs of students. We also believe in teaching the values that prepare students to lead socially responsible and productive lives. At RHS, we value the 3 Rs of respect: Respect for self and others; respect for learning; and respect for the environment. Rockhampton High School provides education programs to a student population of over 1000 students. There are strong connections with local primary schools based around shared learning programs and resources and joint professional development activities. Approximately twelve per cent of our students are Indigenous and the local clan is the Darumbal people. The school has strong partnerships with the local Indigenous organisations.
