Uniform update
The uniform supply for new school shirts has not gone as planned - we only
have some shirts and with the large increase of enrolments they have sold
depending on the sizes. We are asking for any surplus Proserpine SHS
uniforms to be either donated or bought to our uniform shop at the school
hall to swap sizes. We understand that students have grown and need a
larger shirt - this may alleviate some of the problem of having a uniform
until the full uniform supply can be resolved.

School Profile
Established in 1963, Proserpine State High School is located in Mackay North District and services a diverse range of communities within the Whitsunday Shire. The majority of students are drawn from the communities of Airlie Beach/ Cannonvale, Whitsunday Islands, Proserpine and its surrounding farming/grazing areas. Given that Proserpine SHS draws its students from such a large geographical area, the majority of students utilise a well-developed school bus and boat network. Such a dependence on transportation networks is a significant factor that is reflected in the curriculum and general school organisational structure of Proserpine SHS.
Proserpine SHS has a student population that fluctuates between 800 to 880 students.
The school operates in large, well-appointed buildings that include facilities such as Computer rooms, Home Economics/ Catering facilities, Senior Engineering & Construction workshops, Music/ Drama/ Art facilities, Science laboratories and a first-class library. The school also has a number of covered eating areas, a covered playing area and is surrounded by playing fields and open spaces.
Proserpine SHS has a well-developed curriculum, including a Marine Science and LOTE option in both the Junior and Senior school. Proserpine SHS aspires to produce mature, well-balanced, thinking, caring young people who are able to take part in the community and to contribute significantly to it.
This is reflected in our mission statement - "To help, encourage and challenge the individual to strive to fulfil his/her potential in all facets of life.
Trade Training Centre
