Merit Entry Equity Bursary – Selective Entry (Sporting)

Brisbane State High School is a public school that is committed to providing opportunity for students. For students who are out-of-catchment, this opportunity comes in the form of selected entry places. Currently, there is a non-refundable Processing Fee of $420.00 associated with these places. 

We recognise that there are families who experience genuine hardship. In cases of sustained hardship, this fee may prevent consideration of a select entry place. We wish to consider all students who desire a place at Brisbane State High School under the category of Selective Entry - Sporting and do not want this fee to be a barrier for those in genuine hardship. 

As a result, the School Council has endorsed a limited number of Merit Entry Equity Bursaries available for Sporting Selective Entry. 

We invite families for whom this fee presents an insurmountable barrier to application, to submit interest in this bursary by the closing dates listed below:

Year 6, 2023 for Year 7, 2024
