Elanora State High School is the high school serving the Elanora area of the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. Founded in 1990, it currently has a student body of 950.

Music department

[edit]

The school offers music lessons to all interested students attending the school on both concert band instruments (woodwind, percussion and brass) as well string ensemble instruments (violin, viola, cello and double bass). These bands rehearse during and after school mid-week and perform at many of the school functions including ANZAC Day, academic awards evenings and Career Expo, as well as at external inter-school competitions (Gold Coast Eisteddfod and Fanfare).

As well as instrumental music lessons, Elanora High regularly has a full complement of music classes from year 7 through to year 12. Accompanying this strong showing, the bi-annual school musical regularly features musically talented students.
