Statement of Purpose
Indooroopilly State High School empowers students to contribute to, and enrich, our local and global communities:
Through commitment to forward thinking and lifelong learning, and
Within a challenging and supportive learning environment.
We Believe
All students can learn and have the right to learn
Students and teachers deserve a mutually supportive and safe environment
Students learn best by engaging in rigorous and rewarding experiences
A self-disciplined environment contributes to effective learning
Services are client-focused and create belonging
Our learning has value beyond the classroom
Our education develops multiple intelligences
Teachers are learners and professionals
Enjoyment and success are integral to learning
Our learning is global and futures oriented
Indooroopilly State High School aims to instil a sense of personal value and autonomy in its students. In our diverse community we strongly believe in knowing our students and being sensitive to their individual needs. By making Open Communication one of our values, we have created a learning community that is constantly evolving and shaping itself to changes within the school, as well as in the outside world.
Each and every one of our students has the ability to learn and the right to do so in the best environment possible. Only in a safe, mutually supportive school can this be achieved. Classroom activities foster a healthy relationship between teacher and student to inspire mutual respect and learning. We believe the evolution of our learning environment should always consider the global and future prospects of our students, and encompass learning experiences that provide enrichment beyond the curriculum.
Perhaps most of all we believe enjoyment and success are the key motivators to learning, and persistence and resilience are critical attributes. Rights and responsibilities are complementary whereby the freedom to make choices and take responsibility for learning develops maturity and the desire to succeed. We welcome you as a partner in this important enterprise.
