This edit: 1) Separates the "Notable alumni" section entertainment entries to their own table & sets up a "Politics & business" table for the rest; 2) Converts the existing 'inline citations' into a contemporary Wikipedia format; 3) Transfers the unevidenced single line of student statistics into a new "Students" section, containing statistics table on "Class Size", "Student Enrolments", & "Discipline" trends; 4) Updates the 'info box', e.g. years etc; 5) Adds 'inline citations' for other info.

'''Miami State High School''' is a school in [[Miami, Queensland]] established as '''South Coast District State High School''' in 1963.
'''Miami State High School''' is a school in [[Miami, Queensland]] established as '''South Coast District State High School''' in 1963<ref name="meaghan-scanlon_2022"/>. It is currently the Gold Coast’s second oldest state school, second in age only to [[Southport State High School]] (established 1955).<ref name="meaghan-scanlon_2022"/>


==History==
==History==
Originally 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 (Florida)|Gold Coast]]. At the time, the only public high schools were [[Southport High School]] and [[Tweed River High School]], about {{convert|35|km|mi}} 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&nbsp;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.

Consequently, in 1964, the infant Miami High went from catering to year 9 to catering to years 8, 9 and 10 with the state barely able to provide enough classrooms for the start of the year. 1965 and 1966 saw open underschool areas, originally intended for protection from sun and rain, being converted to temporary classrooms and several flimsy demountable buildings being installed as other temporary classrooms. Despite their nominally temporary nature, many of these structures were still in use twenty years later. In 1967, the Australian federal government built a two-story, four-laboratory science block, as part of a program to improve the teaching of science throughout Australia. Several of the laboratories were promptly pressed into service as regular classrooms.

Miami State High School front entrance

Miami State High School is a school in Miami, Queensland established as South Coast District State High School in 1963[3]. It is currently the Gold Coast’s second oldest state school, second in age only to Southport State High School (established 1955).[3]

History

Originally 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 35 kilometres (22 mi) 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.

Consequently, in 1964, the infant Miami High went from catering to year 9 to catering to years 8, 9 and 10 with the state barely able to provide enough classrooms for the start of the year. 1965 and 1966 saw open underschool areas, originally intended for protection from sun and rain, being converted to temporary classrooms and several flimsy demountable buildings being installed as other temporary classrooms. Despite their nominally temporary nature, many of these structures were still in use twenty years later. In 1967, the Australian federal government built a two-story, four-laboratory science block, as part of a program to improve the teaching of science throughout Australia. Several of the laboratories were promptly pressed into service as regular classrooms.

Executive

The first principal was Claude Rayner. John Rowe was given the position in 1967. Bill Callinan took over as principal in 1969.

The first deputy principal was Ken Maynard, appointed in 1967.

Infrastructure

Miami’s most iconic landmark is the school’s ‘Hollywood-style’ sign.[4] The sign was the 1979 brainchild of then principal, William Callinan, and was designed to cover the scarp face, once the site of a rock quarry.[4] Originally, it read 'Hi Miami High', but it now reads simply "Miami High".[4] The school's sign on the side of the hill is listed on the Gold Coast Local Heritage Register.[5]

The school has a film and TV studio.

The school has a assembly hall with a 1,500 seat capacity. This assembly hall as the first venue on the coast that could seat more than 1,000 people.[4] It has hosted performers such as AC/DC, Sherbet, Skyhooks, and Hot Chocolate.[4]

Miami State High School possesses an all-weather playing surface featuring four basketball, four netball and three volleyball courts, a sports field, fully equipped gymnasium and 25 metre swimming pool.[3]

In 2022, work started at the school for an $11 million indoor sports centre.[3]

Current status

Miami High has introduced an international exchange program with students from all over the world now attending the school.

Expenditure on teacher participation in professional development for the year 2006 reached a total of $24,530. Permanent and temporary staff at the school had an attendance rate of 96% for the same year. The retention rate of staff from 2005 to 2006 was 95%. Student retention rates from year 8 to year 12 was 75%.
