Read the full storyAt Ingham State High School, we have a strong focus on three key pillars - Expert Teachers, Supported Learners, and High Standards.
Expert teachers – we are fully staffed to ensure we have specialist teachers, teaching the subjects they are trained to teach.
Supported Learners – Ingham State High School is the best mix of a large and small school – large enough to have the resources and variety in what we can offer our students, but small enough that we know our learners. We know where they are at and what they need to do to improve. We know our kids!
High Standards – we nurture positive wellbeing through a structured student support model and maintain high standards for staff and students.
Ingham State High School Principal, Mr Rod Flood states, “It is our staff that makes the difference. We have many long-term staff that have a deep commitment to our school and an unwavering belief in the potential of our students. The connection that our students have to their teachers lasts beyond the school fence.”
Our next Year 6 Transition Day on Monday, 20th of October, will include a Principal’s Tour of the School. This is an ideal time for future parents of all year levels to meet key leaders of the school and tour our facilities. Alternatively, you can contact us at any time for a chat about any aspect of our school.
We are currently conducting Enrolment Interviews for 2026, and welcome all families to make contact with us to book an interview.
Come join us at Ingham State High – where friendships, opportunities, and bright futures begin!
