Balmoral State High School

Balmoral State High School is located close to the cafes and shopping districts of Bulimba, Hawthorne and Morningside. A movie theater and a public library are also nearby. The quiet residential area with typical Queensland architecture has a number of very beautiful parks and bike paths. There are many community activities available – a broad range of sports, including hockey, football, soccer, netball, water polo, sailing; cultural and intellectual pursuits are also available. The centre of Brisbane is about five kilometres away and is easily accessible by public transport.

Balmoral State High School is the only school in Queensland that has a partnership with the aerospace company Boeing, which gives students the opportunity to work with scientists and engineers on real aerospace projects.

The school has excellent equipment and facilities. Its science and maths courses are second to none. The newly renovated, air-conditioned science learning centre offers state-of-the-art laboratories for research-based, hands-on learning.

In addition to a wide range of core academic subjects, Balmoral State High School is known for its innovative and vibrant arts faculty: film, television and new media, fine arts, instrumental music, music, dance and theatre.

Outside of the classroom, the school offers a range of creative teams and projects. These include a musical production every two years in which students from all years level can perform. There is a cheerleading team under the direction of a choreographer and POM, which combines cheerleading with hip-hop and jazz dance styles. This group is a senior-only dance team. The hip-hop team is very popular, and those more interested in technology can get involved in the stage team “TASS” in lighting, sound and video.
