Welcome to Fortitude Valley State Secondary College, the first school to be opened in the inner city Brisbane in over 50 years. Our school opened in 2020 with 137 Year 7 students. By 2025, when those students graduate, it is anticipated that the school will have a student population of 1500 across all year levels. The new state-of-the-art multi-storey secondary state school is located on the site of the former Fortitude Valley State School on the corner of St Pauls Terrace and Brookes Street, Fortitude Valley.
Fortitude Valley State Secondary College is delivered in conjunction with the Queensland University of Technology (QUT). This partnership creates an educational model that is values-driven, future-focussed and real world. To realise this vision, the school’s vertical design, which capitalises on its inner city lot, creates spaces which can be reconceptualised and activated in flexible ways to foster student and staff engagement, partnerships, community engagement and highly personalised learning.
We look forward to welcoming you to our school where our vision is to create a community of agile learners who are bold, resilient and kind.
