The GAP State High School
The GAP State High School has been serving Brisbane's western suburbs with distinction since 1960. The school is 
located in a beautiful natural setting that ensures optimum learning outcomes. It distinguishes itself in academic, cultural and sporting endeavours.
The Gap State High School has a student enrolment of about 800 and it offers all students an opportunity at holistic learning in a supportive local community environment. This approach is seen as beneficial to a student's success in later life. Hence, a student's interaction with his/her school and local community is seen as vital to success.
Cooperation and support between parents, teachers and students has enhanced student learning outcomes and provided a supportive environment for the whole school community as well as the wider community.
The Gap State High School motto is "Educating the whole person in a supportive Local School Community". Learning is enhanced if it is supported by the wider community. Therefore, the school is keen to engage the wider community in constructive projects that may benefit the wider community. This Wholesome Approach is what distinguishes GAP from the rest.
The school seeks to achieve its' goal by facilitating student learning with time, money and resources where applicable. At every turn, the interest of the student is looked after so that they are not deprived of a qauality education. The school tries to meet all their learning needs and requirements in a systematic manner.
