Milpera State High School Milpera State High School provides English language & settlement services for newly arrived students.

Milpera State High School is a special purpose state high school which teaches English language across curriculum areas. It also provides settlement services to newly arrived immigrant and refugee background young people to prepare them for living and studying in Australia. Milpera State High School is committed to maximising the full human potential of every student within a socially just and culturally inclusive environment. We achieve this by delivering a quality educational and settlement service that is needs based in order to gain the best learning and settlement outcomes for our learners and their families. All of the students who come to Milpera are speakers of languages other than English when they arrive. Some are children of business or work migrants, some are joining family already in Australia, and some are victims of war and/or political unrest in their home countries. Most of the students are permanent residents who are starting a new life in Australia, but some may have temporary visas, be waiting for visas or be on bridging visas. All of the students are approved by the Minister for Education to attend school in Australia. Year 6 and Junior secondary students (11 to 14 years old) and Senior secondary students (15 to 17 years old) are eligible to enrol.

Our Senior Prep 1 students from Rooms 9, 17 and 24 had a fantastic camp at Stanley River Environmental Education Centre.

From canoeing and fun activities to cooking and eating together, students enjoyed making new friendships, strengthening bonds and creating wonderful memories. They also enjoyed a campfire, spotted local wildlife and embraced the great outdoors.

A wonderful experience filled with friendship, teamwork, laughter and lots of fun! 💛

They learned about the Milpera way, visited classrooms and observed a range of subjects. They also had the opportunity to speak and observe SAR/HOW and HEAL rooms, followed by lots of questions and discussion.

A wonderful day of sharing knowledge and building connections!
