Story

Miami State High School is a school in Miami, Queensland established as South Coast District State High School in 1963.Early historyOriginally named South Coast District State High School, Miami High was officially opened in April, 1963. It soon became known as Miami High and, after a number of years, the more compact name was officially adopted. It was built to meet the needs of the rapidly expanding population on the Gold Coast. At the time, the only public high schools were Southport High School and Tweed River High School, about 35km apart, with the site of Miami High about midway between the two on the Gold Coast Highway at the very northern end of Miami.The chosen site presented a number of construction challenges because the southern half was a swamp and the northern half was on the steep slope of Nobby's Headland, an upthrust of schist about 50 m high at its highest point. The challenges were met by the simple expedient of blasting the slope and dumping the rubble in the swamp, but with a consequent complete loss of topsoil that created enduring problems for many years.Construction always stayed behind the needs of the students throughout the sixties. This was for three reasons: (a) it was an entirely new school competing with established schools for resources in a state that had allowed chronic neglect of its education infrastructure and which was in far worse condition than the larger states of Victoria (Australia) and New South Wales, (b) Miami High's construction coincided precisely with the transition of the Baby Boom Generation from primary school to high school, and (c) in 1964, Queensland's primary schools ceased to teach the eighth year, which was transferred to the high schools, so that the entry year to high school became year 8.

An international student that graduated last year. The International office sure loves to assign international students to homestays who only do it for the money despite numerous complaints against the homestay. For graduation, the principal allowed me to wear the male uniform, yet did not allow another domestic student to wear it. Clearly, the money matters. I also experienced racial bias and microaggressions from staff (particularly the PE and English teacher) on my first year of studying there. Apparently my english skills was "too good" that it passes off as plagiarism. I took that as a compliment.

Where do I start, I recently had the displeasure of dealing with both principal & deputy principal of the school regarding a matter of importance, the way its been handled is a joke both personally to my family and myself, I have been lied to , mislead, and kept in the dark over the whole matter , regardless of the atrocious way ive been treated , total lack of transparency and the contempt shown by above mentioned il will not be silenced ! I was asked to leave school as I began to get angry after being treated like a person who has know rights , as long as I have a child at this school I HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW ! I'm 100% certain that if other parents who are in my position knew what ive gone through i would have plenty of support ! I'm a dad who cares, works hard and will do anything for my kids , had a gutfull of people who can hide behind the doors with their own set of rules ! Those people make me sick !

Matter must be handled appropriately, especially when young children are involved. NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

The school isn't good because they force Kids into learning one way when there multiple. The school sends kids that don't have white socks to detention for "breaking uniform policy" when a sock does not affect anything and is ignorant in there part, the kids are also forced to learn things that don't help in there lives and most of the teachers don't even make the painful process of learning useless knowledge enjoyable. The kids have a limit of 10 days or they have to restart the whole year again which is stressful to get though because they can't take a break. I hope they get a principal that is rational to fix these problems and make learning useful for the kids that want to get knowledge for there future careers and make school actually teach kids useful things then things that will only be used or asked once.
