Benowa State High School
Benowa State High School (BSHS) is a state, co-educational school in the suburb of Benowa (Queensland, Australia) in the Gold Coast. The school is located in the land of the Kombumerri people, within the wider Bujalung language nation, recognising Ngarahngwal and Yugambeh. It is the only state high school in the state electorate of Surfers Paradise.
It hosts exchange students from Asia, America, Africa and Europe. It started a French Immersion program in 1985 and was the first school to offer Marine Biology as a subject in the Queensland curriculum.
The school's French Immersion programme is a four-year course offered in Years 7 to 10, where students are taught four of their six subjects in French: these being mathematics, French, society & environment and science. The school has recorded 11 OP1s (Overall Position) each year from 2004 to 2007, which ranks it ahead of all other secondary schools in the Gold Coast region. Another stream in Benowa SHS is the Steiner education Programme which aims to develop independent and "natural" learning in students, who learn at their own pace.
The STEM program at Benowa aims for students to excel in the areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. It is a four-year program from Years 7–10. Each and every STEM student receives extra lessons in those categories and various opportunities including 3D printing, Rocket Launching, Coding, and more.
Benowa is known for having a large range of subjects. It has over 30 subjects which students can choose in Years 10, 11 and 12. Unlike most state schools, but like some private schools, Benowa State High School groups year 10–12 as senior school, and offers Specialist Mathematics as a subject to the year 10 students.
Benowa is a constant achiever at volleyball tournaments, placing highly in most of the competitions they enter, and some students have entered the national level of competition in the event. Students also achieve high in many other sports, including tennis, swimming, athletics and touch. The school also has an athletics-inclined stream called "Sports Excellence", which is aimed at Year 7, 8 and 9 students who wish to pursue a career in athletics. It has produced athletes who have gone on to represent both state and country in a variety of sports such as: swimming, volleyball, rugby, Australian rules football, football and track & field.[citation needed]
Benowa has created an innovative curriculum in the arts which includes visual art, music, dance, drama and music. Art workshops are offered to complement formal classes.
The school is included within the Gold Coast Branch of the "Modern Language Teachers Association of Queensland".
