Welcome to Burnside State High School
Welcome to Burnside State High School, where the bush meets the beach!
Burnside SHS is located in the suburb of Nambour, approximately 90 kilometres from Queensland's capital city, Brisbane.
The town of Burnside is situated from the lush hinterland of the Sunshine Coast, close to beautiful national parks such as Kondalilla National Park, Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve, Gardner Falls, Maleny Botanic Gardens and Bird World.
Our famous Sunshine Coast beaches of Alexandra Headland, Maroochydore and Mooloolaba are located within 20 kilometres from the school, providing a unique opportunity for our students to enjoy the beach and the beach whilst attending our school.
In addition, a Dance studio, Tennis, Basketball, Netball and Football sporting clubs are near the school. This allows students to partake in extra-curricular activities after school if they wish.
All our host families provide loving and supportive homes for our students. Many are long time host families and have established lifelong bonds with students and families from other countries.
