Today, Maryborough State High School offers a flexible learning environment exemplified by our students having opportunities to engage in a variety of academic, sporting, cultural and community programs.
As a vibrant part of the World Heritage listed Fraser Coast area, the town of Maryborough is steeped in history, and just a short drive to Hervey Bay provides the stepping off point to Fraser Island, the location of some of the world’s best whale watching encounters.
Homestay* enables EQI students to truly experience Australia's famous lifestyle.
By living with an Australian host family international students become part of the local community and have a fantastic opportunity to practise their English in a safe and caring home environment. International students often develop lasting friendships with their homestay families.
Standard Homestay fees have been set and these are listed on the EQI program fees page.
