MOUNT GRAVATT STATE HIGH SCHOOL

What MOUNT GRAVATT STATE HIGH SCHOOL does

Mount Gravatt State High School is a Queensland Government public secondary school located in the Brisbane suburb of Mount Gravatt, founded in 1960 and operated by the Department of Education trading as Education Queensland International (EQI). It delivers Years 7–12 education across junior secondary (Australian Curriculum) and senior secondary (Queensland Certificate of Education and ATAR pathway), organized around a Four Pillars framework of Academic, Cultural, Sport, and Community. Domestic students enroll directly with the school, while international students enroll exclusively through EQI under the school's CRICS Provider Code 00608A; the school has hosted an international program since 1990 and currently draws students from more than 20 countries.

The school is also a Registered Training Organisation (RTO 30406), enabling it to issue Australian Qualification Framework vocational credentials alongside its academic offerings. Its core technology stack is a 1to1 Laptop Program delivered through the Student Resource Scheme, which charges $680 per student in 2026 and bundles a take-home device, textbooks, software, and consumables. Supporting infrastructure includes an OverDrive-powered digital library, the QParents portal for parent communication, and Flexischools for uniform and canteen transactions. Specialist offerings include EDGE (gifted and talented), STEAM, and an Athlete Development Program, supplemented by wellbeing services (Guidance Officers, Social Worker, Youth Health Nurse, Community Education Counsellor) and a Homestay program for international students.

Commercially, the school is funded primarily through Queensland Government education budgets rather than market revenue. The only direct parental fee is the Student Resource Scheme, supplemented by P&C-operated canteen and uniform shop revenue, online homestay placement fees, and international student tuition administered via EQI. Marketing is predominantly community-driven — annual Open Days, a Schoolzine newsletter, and a Facebook presence — with international student recruitment fully outsourced to EQI.
