Welcome to Marsden State High School, where we are committed to inspiring and empowering every learner to reach their fullest potential. We educate our students on the lands of the Yuggera and Gugingin peoples, and we pay our respects to their elders, past, present, and emerging.
Since 1987, Marsden State High School has stood as a beacon of excellence in education, proudly serving the Logan community. We offer our students from Years 7 through 12 a world-class education that blends academic rigor, vocational training, cultural exploration, and sporting excellence. At Marsden, we believe that every student deserves access to the very best opportunities, and we work tirelessly to make that belief a reality.
At the core of everything we do are our values of Persistence, Passion, and Pride. These aren't just words—they are the foundation of our culture, the driving force behind our approach, and the guiding principles that lead us forward. At Marsden, we dare to inspire every student to make a difference—not just for themselves, but for their families, their community, and the world. Our vision of "Dare to Inspire" is more than a statement; it's a call to action that resonates in every corner of our school.
We believe that success is something to be sought after and practiced, not just hoped for. Our dedicated staff are passionate, dynamic, and innovative, working collaboratively to ensure that both curricular and extracurricular pursuits are delivered to the highest standard. We are a team of educators who truly care about the success of every student, and we believe the quality of our educational opportunities is second to none.

We celebrate diversity as a strength and believe that it enriches every aspect of our school life. Marsden State High School is not just a place of learning—it's a place where students can grow, thrive, and prepare for their futures, whether they choose to pursue industry pathways, tertiary education, or enter the workforce.
At Marsden, we take a holistic approach to supporting our students. Our dedicated support staff are here to ensure that every student's academic, social, and emotional needs are met, helping them to overcome challenges and achieve success. We understand the importance of consistent attendance, which is why we strive to ensure that students attend school at least 92% of the time, offering a variety of programs to support this goal.
