Located on the corner of Goldmine Road and Minka Lane, Stage One of Ormeau Woods State High opened in January 2009 with 230 students in Years 8 and 9. In 2011 our Stage Two senior school facilities were opened to accommodate the 670 students in Years 8 to 11. In 2012 we will proudly see our first cohort of Year 12 students graduate to coincide with the construction of Stage Three facilities encompassing a Performing Arts Centre, Music Studios and Senior Classrooms featuring a lecture theatre. The school is a ‘state of the art’ facility and technology rich environment that is conscientiously progressing towards a ‘paperless’ learning environment. A feature of the school is the Resource and Research Centre which is gaining widespread recognition in education circles for its 'soft furnishings - high technology' approach to library usage. Ormeau Woods State High School is developing new and innovative approaches to education. There is extensive use of computers, PCs and laptops, Interactive White Boards and data projectors and the latest software applications used in all subject areas. Our students are part of a unique ‘new school’ experience which provides them with personal challenges and rewards in shaping our history.
