Pathways To Success At Ingham High

Ingham State High School recognises that every student’s journey is unique. This understanding drives the school’s commitment to offering a wide range of opportunities and pathways that help students build skills, gain qualifications, and make confident choices about their futures.

The school continues to achieve outstanding academic results across the senior phase, reflecting the hard work and dedication of both students and staff. This was evident in the recent internal assessment results for Year 12, where several students achieved perfect scores of 100%. Such success highlights Ingham State High School’s commitment to high expectations, quality teaching, and a culture of academic excellence.

While academic achievement remains a strong focus, providing flexible and practical pathways to support all learners is equally important. Students can complete nationally recognised Certificate II and III qualifications while earning their Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) in areas such as Health, Automotive, Building and Construction, Engineering, and Rural Operations. Strong community partnerships also open doors to school-based apprenticeships, traineeships, and meaningful employment opportunities.

As a Gateway to Industry School for Health, Construction, Renewable Energy, Community Services, and Manufacturing, Ingham State High School maintains strong links with industry and local employers. Ensuring programs remain relevant to workforce needs and create clear pathways into further study and employment.

The school’s Flexible Learning Program provides students with even greater choice, allowing participation in School-Based Apprenticeships and Traineeships (SATs), university subjects, Distance Education, Languages other than English, STEM Programs and a range of qualifications through external RTOs. This flexibility empowers students to tailor their learning to their interests, strengths, and career goals.

The Transition to Work pilot program further supports students ready to enter the workforce while completing their senior studies.

Principal Rod Flood commends the collective efforts of staff, students, and community partners who contribute to these achievements, stating, “At Ingham State High School, we are dedicated to ensuring every student not only achieves success in their schooling but is also equipped to take their next step with confidence, purpose, and a clear sense of direction for the future.”
