About Bundaberg State High School
Bundaberg State High School is one of the oldest state high schools in Queensland, having opened its doors in 1912 on the banks of the Burnett River. Welcome to our website where you will find information and images which illustrate the diversity of our school.
The school's motto is 'per ardua ad astra', which loosely translates as 'through hard work, the stars', and this set of values informs the expectations of all who work and study here. They also provide a framework for the students as they move into the world beyond the school.
Our challenge as a school in a regional centre is to cater for the needs of not only our students but also the needs of our community and we continually strive to improve. Integral to educating the citizens of tomorrow is the high expectations that the school has regarding attendance and behaviour. It is expected that all students be at their best and remind themselves that everyday counts.
