​​

The Robina State High School Signature Programs have been created to give students the opportunity to achieve at the highest level in their chosen areas.

With the guidance of our highly accredited staff and specialised coaching/tuition, students are supported to excel in all facets of their chosen program, fostering growth towards their full potential.

All programs require a completed Expression of Interest (EOI) form to be submitted by the program's due date. More information on each program can be found on the relevant Signature Program pages, and links to apply are provided below.

Important: Submitting an EOI is not an enrolment application for Robina State High School. A separate enrolment application must be completed if you wish to proceed with enrolment at RSHS, regardless of whether your EOI is successful.

For students residing out of catchment, an Out-of-Catchment (OOC) form must also be completed.
