"Yeronga State High School has been operating since 1960 and has a long and proud tradition of providing good quality public education to students from a variety of backgrounds.  At its peak, the School served 1,800 students in the 1970s and currently has a smaller but growing number of around 550 students. 

Yeronga State High School is one of the most diverse in terms of the student population with students representing over 50 different nationalities and over 60 different cultural groups.  The multi-cultural and cosmopolitan nature of the School along with the small school size means it has a strong sense of community, can provide a high level of individual attention and opportunities for participation in activities that students in larger schools find harder to achieve."
