We believe in supporting the growth of the whole child. By providing a safe, supportive, inclusive and respectful teaching and learning environment, we prioritise wellbeing whilst driving the pursuit of academic excellence. 

Our school’s purpose is to inspire all students to reach their full potential, so they will develop into lifelong learners and community orientated young people. We encourage students to fully realise and then invest in their passions and ensure they succeed through a smooth transition into their preferred careers. In short, our aim is for all students to become the best versions of themselves in both their learning and personal character. 

To achieve our purpose and allow our students to optimise talents and skills, we have two key overarching strategic priorities that we embrace and embed in our systems and practices: 
Excellence in Teaching and Learning; and
Supporting all students to achieve.

Our school culture is driven by our motto “Diligence and Integrity” which compels all students and staff to do their best in all school endeavours. We encourage students to meet challenges through hard work, determination and resilience with Diligence. Students are taught to demonstrate Integrity in their actions through the honourable qualities of being honest, trustworthy, fair, sincere and decent human beings. Our motto is further supported by our school values: Character, Community and Culture of Excellence.

Our programs are delivered by a highly committed and talented team of teachers and support personnel who work collaboratively with students, parents and the broader community. Learning at Browns Plains State High School is paramount and structured under our Four Pillars - Academic, Cultural, Sport and Community that provide our students with additional curriculum and extra-curricular opportunities. Our Four Pillars create a sense of belonging and enable students to develop, flourish and be recognised for their individual talents. 

There is something tailored for every student within our wide range of curriculum opportunities: our Academic Program of Excellence; rigorous certificate courses; exciting school based apprenticeships and traineeships and our supportive Learning Centre program. In addition, we have implemented a range of signature research-based programs specifically designed to support student ownership of their learning, wellbeing and engagement. These programs include our: 
Attitude to Learning (ATL) Framework, 
Gradual Release of Responsibility (GRR) Pedagogical Framework. 
Follow Your Passion (FYP) courses 

Browns Plains State High School takes great pride in our reputation as being a respected leader of learning and continues to resonate as a very high performing school that consistently upholds high expectations and positive values across an aligned school community of families, students and staff.
