Bremer State High School (Bremer SHS) is a public, co-educational high school located in Ipswich, Queensland.
Bremer State High School was originally built and located in the suburb Silkstone 27°37′15″S 152°46′48″E / 27.620825°S 152.780042°E from 1959 till it was relocated in 2011.
It was announced in March 2009 that Bremer State High School would be relocated. The new school was constructed on Warwick Rd next to the University of Queensland’s Ipswich campus at a cost of approximately $73 million which was part of the state government's $850 million State Schools of Tomorrow initiative. To accommodate the move the golf course adjacent to the new school had to undergo a $1 million redesign. The move occurred due to ongoing maintenance problems at the schools current site caused by land movement and active soils. The new school opened in 2011.
Due to this relocation, the school subsequently underwent several changes such as a new uniform which included a one-off foundation shirt. Bremer State High School was also selected as one of the pilot schools for the move of Year 7's to high school for 2013, as part of a push for a national curriculum which would see all Year 7's in Queensland at high school in 2015. This pilot program would also allow all Year 7's access to a 32GB Wi-Fi version of the Apple iPad 2 tablet if Anna Bligh were to be elected in the Queensland state election, 2012.
In late February 2012, the old campus was sold from the State Government to the Ipswich City Council for proposed redevelopment of the school buildings and the utilization of the ovals for future local sports fields.
