About us:
The city of Warwick is located under two hours west from Brisbane on the Cunningham Highway. Travellers and commercial vehicles wanting to access western Queensland or the southern states pass through Warwick by the New England Highway or the Newell Highway. Stanthorpe is a 40 minute drive to the south and Toowoomba is one hour's drive to the north. So while Warwick is in the heart of a rural area it is not remote by Queensland standards
The Warwick community is very proud of its local secondary school. Founded in 1912, Warwick State High School is one of the oldest educational institutions in Queensland. Our gracious heritage buildings reflect a proud tradition of educational excellence while modern classrooms and modern facilities provide the environment and resources to prepare our students for the challenges of the 21st century. Enrolments stand at approximately 855 students.
Success at Warwick State High School is measured by daily commitment to attendance, attitude and achievement. This is underpinned by our school values of responsibility, respect and relationships.
