Indooroopilly State High School,or "Indro" as it is often referred to, is situated in the south-western suburbs of Brisbane, Australia after its opening in 1954. It is a co-educational, secondary state school. The number of students is difficult to ascertain, as contradictory figures on the homepage of the school's website range from 892 to 970. It is also accredited by the Council of International Schools and offers the International Baccalaureate program, which gives graduating students an internationally-recognised qualification.
Unlike a majority of schools in Queensland, Indooroopilly State High School does not have a uniform. It is a multicultural establishment like most schools within the Brisbane metropolitan area, and offers some programs not available under normal curriculum, namely a pilot's course and a Spanish Immersion Program.
