Brisbane State High School | Year 7, 2027, Academic Selective Entry Test Day
Brisbane State High School is a public school that is committed to providing opportunity for students. For students who are out-of-catchment, this opportunity comes in the form of selective entry places. We proudly uphold the best of public education values; opportunities to excel regardless of personal circumstance. We believe that partnerships across the whole state school sector provide a network of support and bring richness to the school experience. Selective entry opportunities allow students from a range of disciplines to further develop and grow these talents at our state high school. Enrolment opportunities are now available for current Year 5 students for Year 7, 2027 Academic Selective Entry. Applications close at 4:00pm on Monday 16 June 2025.
