At Springfield Central State High School, we challenge our young people to “Scale Great Heights” through high expectations, focusing on teaching and learning and inspiring our students to become lifelong learners. Fostering a love of learning will ensure our students have success in the ever-changing world and workforce. Along with our focus on teaching and learning, we also strive to create an inclusive, safe, and supportive learning environment catering for students needs and interests. We take great pride in the richness of our diversity, embracing our vibrant multicultural community. We nurture student achievement in academic, sporting, and creative fields through our high expectations around work effort, personal presentation, and behaviour.
Everything at Springfield Central stems from the school's vision and priorities:
all students can learn, improve and achieve.
all students are valued and included.
all Students are future-orientated.
This school has gained a reputation as a school of choice in the community, known for its endless pathways and realising the potential of every student. Our senior school offerings of job ready, job seeker, alternative pathways, and Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) ensure that all students succeed. With over 50 external courses available, spanning both academic and Vocational Education and Training (VET) pathways, students are empowered to pursue their passions and prepare for their futures. Furthermore, our school offers MAGNA excellence programs, a growing International Student Program, and Sport Academies in Volleyball, AFL, Basketball, and Soccer.
We are proud of our most recent school review (2024) which outlined key affirmations about our school: Teachers describe a strong collegial culture characterised by trusting and caring relationships. Staff, students and parents value the calm, orderly, respectful learning environment. Staff, parents and community partners speak of productive relationships focused on students futures and on meeting their individual needs.
Education is the key to a successful future and to the numerous opportunities we come across in our lives. Education has the power to improve all elements of our life. It makes the impossible, possible. But just like all things in life, it takes commitment and effort. Learning is not always easy, and that is why we have the best teachers possible to support our student’s learning and significantly improve their schooling experience and engagement. We aim to ensure that our young people enjoy their schooling experience, while preparing our young people academically, socially and physically from entry to high school to graduation.
Our school is deeply supported by a committed and engaged community, with our parents and community playing a pivotal role. Together, we are united in our purpose to cultivate young individuals who are dedicated to striving for the highest standards of excellence, both within school and beyond.
We have a saying at Springfield Central SHS “once a Springer, always a Springer” which we extend to our whole school community. Our students, staff, parents/carers and wider school community, we welcome you with open arms and am excited for you to be part of our Springer community.
