Deception Bay State High School is a public, co-educational, high school, located in the City of Moreton Bay suburb of Deception Bay, in Queensland, Australia.[1][2] It is administered by the Department of Education, with an enrolment of 1,361 students and a teaching staff of 88, as of 2023.[2] The School serves students from Year 7 to Year 12.[1][2]
Prior to the schools opening, the land was a plantation of pine trees,[3] the school opened on 1 January 1992.[4]
In September 2008, it was believed the school was one of many locations of a cancer cluster,[5] due to eleven staff members contracting cancer within the past few years,[6] with three cases being diagnosed since November the previous year.[3] Two of the eleven cases, however, were pre-existing before the staff members arrived at the school.[3] It was investigated by the Queensland Government[7] after the cases had been identified[8] and was declared safe in December 2008, after finding no evidence of contamination in the soil, water or the air.[7] If it would have deemed unsafe, the school would have been abandoned.[9]
The school has four sports houses, Cawley, Bradman, Elliott and Gould.[citation needed]
The school offers a range of curriculum in the senior school that caters for different pathways, providing VET certificates in Hospitality, Early Childhood, Horticulture and Fitness.[citation needed]
The school also has a volleyball development program.[citation needed]
From 2016, the school has increased its enrolments by 15%; achieved 100% QCE attainment; reduced its school disciplinary absences by 40%; improved A–C student outcomes to be the highest in the North Coast Region. It is renowned for its flexible programs: Futures (for seniors) and Aspire (for young mums) and its focus on Positive Behaviour for Learning and Restorative Practices to improve the learning culture of the school.[citation needed]
