Benowa State High School

What does it mean when a professional organisation backs school students?
We’re proud to announce our new silver sponsor Kieser Bundall, who are supporting our Sports Excellence Programs.
This sponsorship gives our students access to expert support in strength and conditioning, helping them improve performance and reduce injury risk.
At Benowa, we’re committed to creating opportunities that go further than the classroom supporting students with experiences that prepare them to follow their path.
A big thank you to Kieser Bundall for investing in our students.

Happy School Cleaners Day!

Call us biased, but we think we have the best cleaners around. 😇

Behind every clean classroom, tidy pathway and welcoming learning space is a team of hardworking people who quietly make a difference every single day.

The truth is, Benowa would look very different without you.

Your tireless work, attention to detail and pride in keeping our school clean, safe and welcoming does not go unnoticed. While it's not always an easy job, it is an important one, and our students, staff and wider community benefit from your efforts each and every day.

Thank you for the early mornings and afternoons, the work that happens behind the scenes and the care you take in creating an environment where our students can learn and thrive.

Today, we celebrate and thank you for everything you do. We are incredibly grateful to have you as part of the Benowa community. ❤️🖤

We are incredibly proud to share that our BLIPP (Benowa Learners’ Interoception and Proprioception Program) was recognised at the GCSPA Excellence in Education Ball on Saturday night for its outstanding contribution to student wellbeing and learning.

This is a wonderful acknowledgement of the meaningful work happening every day to support students in developing regulation, awareness, and lifelong learning skills.

A special thank you to Glenn Chippendale, Jordan Lowe, and Ryan Robinson, whose leadership, care, and expertise have been central to the design and delivery of BLIPP. Your work is making a real difference for students.

This recognition is also a reflection of our wider school community and the shared commitment to supporting every learner.

We are proud of what we are achieving together.

🖤💛❤️ Celebrating excellence within our Jarjum community 🖤💛❤️

We are incredibly proud to congratulate Cloe and Ashlee, who were recognised at the NAIDOC Excellence Awards held at Beenleigh State High School last night.

🏆 Cloe received the Barna Jarjum Instrumental Music Award, recognising her dedication and achievement in music.

🏆 Ashlee received the Academic Excellence Award, acknowledging her commitment to learning and outstanding academic achievement.

These awards celebrate the talents, hard work and contributions of young people across our community, and we are proud to see Cloe and Ashlee recognised for their achievements.

Congratulations to both students on this well-deserved recognition. Your success is an inspiration to others and a wonderful reflection of the strength, talent and potential within our Benowa community. 🕷️❤️🖤

Join us in celebrating these wonderful students.

Real opportunities. Real experiences. Real impact. ✨

Some of our amazing Benowa students recently took part in the STEM Girl Power Camp, joining students from across Queensland to explore future pathways in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

During the camp, students travelled to Brisbane to engage in hands-on experiences at universities and research institutions, connect with leading experts and hear from inspiring role models in STEM. They also developed their leadership skills, preparing them to return as ambassadors who actively promote STEM within our school community.

Back at Benowa, these students are now stepping into leadership, supporting initiatives and helping inspire others, particularly during National Science Week. Later in the year, they will also have the opportunity to showcase their work at the STEM Girl Power Summit.

We are proud of the way our students continue to embrace opportunities, represent our school and lead with confidence.
