Principal's Welcome

Yeppoon is a township of approximately 15,000 people located on the coast of Central Queensland, 700km north of Queensland’s capital city, Brisbane.

Yeppoon State High School has approximately 1,000 students from Year 7-12. We have a sister school relationship with a school in Japan and we have hosted many exchange and international students over the years. Our school’s International program will only accept ten students at a time so you can be assured of personal, quality care and homestay.

Students and staff at our school live by four key values: Responsibility, Active Participation, Manners and Safety. Our international students have the option of studying an extensive range of academic subjects and being involved in our many sporting and cultural programs.

Homestay

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.

  • Students have their own bedroom with study facilities, three meals a day, and access to transport to and from school, and to school activities
  • Host families are carefully selected from within the school community and undergo a police check as required by Queensland law

Standard Homestay fees have been set and these are listed on the EQI program fees page.
