Burpengary State Secondary College is located on a large modern campus approximately 20 minutes north of Brisbane, close to beautiful Moreton Bay, Freshwater National Park and the brand new University of the Sunshine Coast Petrie Campus.
We value strong community relationships and support a culture of high expectations and excellent student outcomes. The school’s vision, ‘Innovative Learning in a Global Community’, is the philosophy behind a comprehensive curriculum that enables you to choose a pathway based on your talents and preferences, in addition to demonstrated success and a strong focus on science, technology and engineering.
Unlike other larger schools in South East Queensland, our International Student Program (ISP) department offers a smaller unique program. This allows us to provide each student with individual curriculum support and dedicated homestay guidance, care and wellbeing.
