At Malanda State High School, we are committed to creating a supportive and dynamic learning environment where every student develops the literacy and numeracy skills needed to succeed. Our goal is to ensure that all students graduate with the tools and qualifications that set them up for a bright future.
We empower our students to achieve one or more of the following pathways:
- A Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) or Queensland Certificate of Individual Achievement (QCIA)

- The skills and confidence to secure direct employment after school
- Tailored alternative pathways for students with special needs
