Our school is well resourced, with our greatest resource being our teachers. The staff of Maroochydore High are experienced, highly qualified and dedicated to improving your learning. Our staff are very friendly and we work closely with you and your host families to provide a safe learning environment. The local community supports our school and is involved in many activities.
