Queanbeyan High School is a comprehensive community high school serving its local community and the communities of Bungendore and Captains Flat and is situated on the border of the Australian Capital Territory. Queanbeyan High School seeks to ensure a comprehensive education for its students and the school has developed programs to support students in their academic, sporting and cultural pursuits. A well developed and constantly evolving series of welfare programs helps to support students and is a feature of the school's culture.

The school's motto of "Nothing without endeavour" exemplifies the school's commitment to establish high expectations for all students, staff and programs we offer. We are genuine in our approach to continuous improvement with a strong Growth Mindset. Provision of opportunities for students to develop their mindset, skillset and toolset across a broad spectrum of academic, vocational, sporting, cultural, citizenship and leadership fields develops effective skills for their future.

The school has a significant special education program catering for a wide range of students with intellectual and physical disabilities and emotional regulation needs.

The school completed a major refurbishment of facilities in 2021, including our new A block and outdoor sporting facilities such as the oval, COLA and quadrangles.
