Welcome from our principal
"Welcome to Banora Point High School. Our motto, ‘Reach for the Stars’ reflects our expectation that all members of the school community will aim high and try to achieve the best they can in all areas.
We have an experienced and hardworking staff, all of whom are keen to see students achieve. There are many opportunities, both inside and outside the classroom for students to try new things and find areas in which to excel.
We are supported by our P&C, which all parents and carers are invited to join. We work with many community organisations to support our students academically and personally.
We welcome any further questions or enquiries."
