Acknowledgement of Country
Our School acknowledges and pays respect to the Bullongin Peoples who are the Traditional Custodians of the land on which our school is built and learning takes place. We also acknowledge and pay respect to the Kombumerri Peoples who have connections and stories to this land. We extend that acknowledgment to Elders past, present and future and thank them for allowing us to work together, share knowledge and stories, and walk alongside them in the education of our Jarjums.

Highland Reserve State School was opened in January 2009, by the then Premier of Queensland, Anna Bligh. The school was built as a 21st Century Digital Learning Environment incorporating an innovative range of teaching and learning spaces, furnishings and digital technologies.
In 2014, Highland Reserve State School was named as an Independent Public School in recognition of the high quality educational opportunities offered to students in the areas of academics, the arts, sport and citizenship. This status has been maintained due to the ongoing success of the school that includes NAPLAN achievement well above State levels.
Our school provides a range of learning pathways to meet the needs of all students including our Programs of Excellence in Academics and Music. We lead the way in offering educational experiences which promote growth and development of well-balanced, confident young students. Through a differentiated curriculum, all students receive a learning pathway that meets their needs that allows each and every student to reach their learning potential.
As a result of high expectations and performance, our students are highly sought after by our local Secondary Schools. Many students receive early entry offers and scholarships into the various Excellence pathways that are offered in Year 7.
Highland Reserve State School provides a high quality education that develops 'Clever-Skilled-Creative' students who are inspired to become successful, life-long learners.
Welcome to Highland Reserve State School where our aspiration is for every student to succeed.
Highland Reserve School would also like to thank our Platinum sponsor:
