Over the years, Maryborough SHS has been awarded Excellence Awards for its extra curricula programs, special education, wellbeing and strategic planning, among other things.

“It’s great to be acknowledged as an Excellence Award winner for high schools across the nation. Particularly in regional areas, as the perception is the opportunities for students in regional Queensland are not as available as the south-east corner,” Mr Done said.

“We are very proud to break that stereotype.

“Further, our work in special education means we are providing opportunities and inclusivity for all students across the entire school.”
