Aspley State High School is a secondary school situated in the northern suburbs of Brisbane, in the Australian state of Queensland. As of August 2023 it has a student population of 1,081.[2]
Aspley State High School opened on 29 January 1963. It was originally to be called Zillmere State High School but was renamed on 17 January 1963 shortly before it opened.[3]
Aspley State High School was the target of activist attacks for not being a part of the Safe Schools Coalition during the associated 2016 moral panic upon the suicide year 7 student of Tyrone Unsworth, leading to temporary deployment of security guards.[4]
Events
Aspley High students participate in many events throughout the school year, such as the Swimming Carnival, the Athletics Carnival (field and track events) and the Cross Country.
The student population is split up into four houses.
