Glenala State High School is a public, co-educational, high school, located on Glenala Road in Durack, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, on the border with Inala. [2] [3] It is administered by the Department of Education, with an enrolment of 1,053 students and a teaching staff of 96, as of 2023. [3] The school serves students from Year 7 to Year 12. [2] [3]
The school was opened on 29 January 1996 [4] after a full amalgamation of both students from Inala State High School (30 January 1962 – 15 December 1995) and the Year 8, 9, and 11 students at Richlands State High School (27 January 1970 – 13 December 1996). [4] In 1997, all students from Richlands State High School were transferred to Glenala. [4]
The school motto for Inala State High School was "Onward and Upward."[ citation needed ] In 1973, a student was killed, 13 others were injured, including the teacher, after a science experiment had gone wrong. [5]
As of 2007, the land where the school was once located was a development site. [6]
In 2004, low motivation and attendance at Glenala was an evident problem; however, after the brief eleven-week program "The Band Thing: Bringing New Styles," an improvement in 'student behaviour, focus and attendance' was seen. [7]
