Welcome to Urangan State High School
Urangan State High School is located in Hervey Bay Education Queensland's Wide Bay South District and has been servicing the community of Hervey Bay since 1992. Hervey Bay city has continued its strong growth with the population skyrocketing from some 30,000 in 1991 to almost 55,000 in 2009.Trends show this growth rate - one of Australia's highest will continue well into the next century.
