It gives me great pleasure to write the opening comments for our school page.
Although our school is quite close to Brisbane's CBD, until recently it has remained isolated as a semi-rural pocket. Rochedale State High School is now growing quickly. The historical isolation has contributed uniquely to the nurturing and development of a very strong sense of community. This quality is appealing and families are attracted to it.
Any visitor to the school will comment on the school's purposeful tone, respectful relationships, well behaved students and a synergy where all stakeholders are working towards a common goal. Standards are high. Academic excellence is embraced. We promote the school motto of preparing our students to 'perform for every stage'. Whether it be academic, vocational education, the arts, agriculture or acclaimed sporting achievements, there are diverse options for student to ensure their future pathway has a solid foundation. Enjoy learning about our school.
