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]

History

The school 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]

Inala State High School

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]

Richlands State High School

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]
