Mansfield High School has a strong tradition of academic, cultural, service and sporting achievements which are due in part to our adherence to traditional school expectations of high standards of personal presentation and behaviour. Under pinning these high standards and expectations is a deep send of care, belonging and camaraderie. Mansfield State High School staff are dedicated to providing Quality Learning in a Caring Environment, nurturing the diverse strengths and talents of each individual student.
Established in 1974, Mansfield State High School has evolved over the past 50 years to accommodate the growth in student numbers. With many new and refurbished buildings, our students enjoy modern classrooms and learning spaces, purpose-built sports facilities and landscaped school grounds.
Celebrating our 50th Anniversary on Saturday 23 March 2024 was an opportunity to look back on this growth and celebrate how much the school has changed. You can learn more about our school facilities through our interactive school map or by viewing the following online publications produced for our 50th Anniversary.
The School Badge shows the school colours, teal blue and white, chosen as the colours of the United Nations Organisation. The shield bears the name Mansfield and S.H.S. for State High School while the flag of the United Nations is also part of the design. This simple design takes influence from the coat of arms of Sir Alan Mansfield (1902 – 1980), who was chief justice and governor of Queensland, but also served as the Australian chief prosecutor with the United Nations War Crimes Commission.
The School Motto, similarly adopted from the Mansfield family, reminds the students to remain "Steadfast", or firm of purpose, in upholding the highest ideals of the school and community.
