About the School
At Sunnybank Hills State School we have actively pursued a reputation for striving for excellence in various endeavours. This can be seen in our many achievements throughout the school's history. Of note our academic results in the national testing program (NAPLAN) and university challenges, awards of excellence in music festivals for choir, string orchestra, symphonic winds and concert band. Our school musical combined with dance and drama awards, chess competitions and premierships in interschool sporting competitions reflect the diverse programs of excellence available to our children.
