Welcome to Brisbane State High’s P&C!

To our new and existing families, welcome to our school community! The Brisbane State High School P&C, run by volunteers, exists to engage parents and citizens in ways that build and sustain purposeful relationships with the school in order to foster improving education and developmental outcomes of students. We hope that you will find information on this website useful to support you and your child/children’s journey through secondary school and to maximise the experience. Please call on 07 3291 4173 or email on admin.officer@bshspandc.org if we can assist further.

Save the date

Like many, COVID hit us hard in 2021, with two key events cancelled. 2022 is a celebration of being able to come together again:

May 6	Yr 7 Picnic Under the Stars – A popular evening, welcoming the families of new Year 7s; the perfect opportunity to meet your new community
August 6	State High Day – Cancelled 30 minutes before starting in 2021(!), an annual celebration of school spirit, through music, sport and other activities. RSVP to this free event here.
October 29	Centenary Gala – Delayed from 2021, the P&C will host 400 guests at a sparkling evening to mark one hundred years of Brisbane State High School education. Our fundraising goal is a new satellite library on the Lower Campus. Book your tickets here.
November 17	Yr 12 Parent Farewell – An inaugural event, allowing families of current Year 12s to say farewell to each other and the school.

Keen to join our Events Committee or to help bring these events to life? Contact our office on 07 3291 4173 or admin.officer@bshspandc.org. We are always looking for volunteers on event day so look out for more information closer to each event.
