Benowa State High School (BSHS) is an independent, co-educational school, founded in 1980, located on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.[2] The school is located in the land of the Kombumerri people, within the wider Bujalung language nation, recognising Ngarahngwal and Yugambeh.[3]
It is part of the Council of International Schools (CIS) and hosts exchange students from Asia, America, Africa and Europe.[4] It started a French Immersion program in 1985 and was the first school to offer Marine Biology as a subject in the Queensland curriculum.[5] In 2015, they commenced their Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) based educational program.[citation needed] In 2017, the International Baccalaureate diploma program was offered to years 11 and 12, along with a preparatory course in grade 10.[6]
Academic
Benowa's French Immersion programme is a four-year course offered in years 7 to 10, where students are taught four of their six subjects in French: these being mathematics, French, society & environment and science. The school has recorded 11 OP1s (Overall Position) each year from 2004 to 2007, which ranks it ahead of all other secondary schools in the Gold Coast region.[7] Another stream in Benowa SHS is the Waldorf education Programme which aims to develop independent and "natural" learning in students, who learn at their own pace.
The STEM program at Benowa aims for students to excel in the areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. It is a four-year program from years 7–10 which ends with an excursion to the NASA launch site at Cape Canaveral, Florida. Each and every STEM student receives extra lessons in those categories and various opportunities including 3D printing, Rocket Launching, Coding, and more.
Benowa is known for having a large range of subjects. It has over 30 subjects which students can choose in years 10, 11 and 12. Unlike most state schools, but like some private schools, Benowa State High School groups year 10–12 as senior school, and offers Specialist Mathematics as a subject to the year 10 students.
Along with Benowa holding ATAR classes, TAFE courses and apprenticeships, Benowa is one of 76 schools in Australia to offer the International Baccalaureate program.[6] The course is offered through grade 10, 11 and 12 and offers a wide range of subjects to choose from.
Sports
Benowa is a constant achiever at volleyball tournaments, placing highly in most of the competitions they enter, and some students have entered the national level of competition in the event. Students also achieve high in many other sports, including tennis, swimming, athletics and touch. The school also has an athletics-inclined stream called 'Sports Excellence' which is aimed at year 7, 8 and 9 students who wish to pursue a career in athletics. It has produced athletes who have gone on to represent both state and country in a variety of sports such as: swimming, volleyball, rugby, Australian rules football, football and track & field.[citation needed]
Arts
Benowa has created an innovative curriculum in the arts, called 'Arts@Benowa', which includes visual art, music, dance, drama and music. Art workshops are offered to complement formal classes.[8][9][10]
The school is included within the Gold Coast Branch of the "Modern Language Teachers Association of Queensland" (MLTAQ)[11]
Use of technology
Benowa has projectors and speakers in all classrooms, allowing students to have an enhanced learning experience.[citation needed]
In 2015, Benowa implemented[12] a intranet system through the "Bring Your Own Device" (BYOx) Program,[13] which allows students to connect to the wifi network, access documents and files uploaded by their teachers via a "Student Drive", and print.[12]
"OneNote" is widely used throughout the school to engage and facilitate student learning, and provide students with opportunities to collaborate with peers, receive feedback and become autonomous with their learning.[14]
"Education Perfect"[15] is used for classwork. Benowa State High School was awarded "Top School" in the 2004 "Education Perfect World Series", the world largest global online competition for social sciences, languages, maths, Engish and science.[citation needed]
"TurnItIn" is manditorily used for students in years 10, 11 and 12 to submit their assessments, with the exception of practical tasks.[16]
In 2021, the school rolled-out the use of the school management system, "Compass", to replace the existing "IDAttend" system.[17]

Between 2018 and 2022, the school operated under a 'vertical' roll mark structure based around the houses, however, in 2023 the school reverted back to a 'horizontal' structure. with the change of system, the 'Heads of House' were renamed 'House Coordinators'.
