About the School:
James Nash State High School services the communities of Glenwood to the North, Kilkivan to the West, Amamoor to the South and Gympie to the East. As such, we have a diversity of students with an underlying common thread of a connection to our rural surrounds and the associated values and beliefs. James Nash was founded in 1977 and has a current enrolment of 1100 students. Our aim is to ensure that our young people have the best opportunity to lead a life of choice rather than a life of chance. We constantly look to explore opportunities for rural and remote students to experience the same opportunities as their metropolitan counterparts. We provide the learning opportunities for this to occur through a gradual release process across the 6 years of high school. The transition to adulthood from 12-year-olds requires that we empower these young people to undertake safe risk-taking, ensuring that they learn through their mistakes and develop an understanding of the need to be responsible for their actions and accountable for the outcomes.
