Principals
Uniform
The uniform for Narangba Valley State High School students varies depending on their year level and the day of the week. On Mondays, students are required to wear their formal uniform. For the juniors(7-9), this consists of a blue shirt and navy shorts or trousers for boys, and a blue blouse and navy skirt for girls, while the seniors(10-12) wear a white shirt instead.. All senior students (years 10, 11 and 12) are required to wear a senior tie with their formal uniforms, while junior girls wear a crossover tie.
During the other four days of the school week, students have a choice of wearing either the formal uniform or the unisex sports uniform. This consists of navy shorts as well as a green, navy blue and gold striped shirt for juniors and a predominantly navy blue shirt for seniors.
Academics
Narangba Valley State High School offers schooling from grade 7 (Grade 8 before 2015) through to 12. The school has had a reasonable amount of academic success, with 71% of students receiving an OP of 1 - 15 in 2006, one of the highest scores for state schools in the district.
Subjects are offered in a wide range of curriculum areas: Mathematics, English, SOSE, Science, Performing Arts, Life Technology (Home Economics), Design Technology (Manual Arts), ICT and Business, Physical Education, LOTE (Japanese) and Visual Arts.
As well as these Academic subjects, the school also has a weekly lesson designed to enhance the life skills of the students, known as SDV (Student Development). Another of these weekly lessons is ATP (Assessment Training and Preparation). In ATP, Year 10 and 11 students have been completing a Certificate I in Work Education, adding points towards their Queensland Certificate of Education. In Year 12 students complete preparation tests for the Queensland Core Skills Test
Academy Programs
Since 2004 the school has offered extension programs in many subjects. Students are given the opportunity to nominate or be selected for the fast-tracked subjects in Year 8. These programs are offered in a number of different areas.
Core Subjects
Students who achieve outstanding academic results are selected to take part in these programs. The programs are offered until Year 11, when students are given the opportunity to undertake further courses during their senior years.
Academies are offered in Mathematics, English, Science and SOSE
Performing arts
At the beginning of Year 7, students are asked to audition for either of the three academies: Music, Dance and/or Drama. These students complete work faster than ordinary classes, and their assessment is expected to be of a higher standard. These academies continue until year 10, where students progress to complete their senior studies.
A recent addition to the academy program is Academy Camp and Tour. This involves Academy students preparing and rehearsing a performance, before traveling to a number of local schools and presenting the act.
