Beerwah State High School uses a house or sub-school structure as the focus for student welfare, developing positive student-teacher relationships, managing student behaviour and ensuring the maintenance and development of a supportive school learning environment.

The primary reason for adopting this structure is the commitment of the school to ensuring quality student-teacher relationships. Positive relationships based on students and teachers knowing each other, relating to each as people and caring about each other lead to improved behaviour, better self esteem, more focused learning environments and improved learning outcomes.

Students belong to one of the four houses in the school

• Miketeebumulgrai
• Tibberoowuccum
• Ngungun
• Tunbubudla

Each house has three Heads of Department, who along with approximately twelve house teachers oversee the welfare for the students of the house. Heads of Department oversee the welfare of approximately 80 students from Years 8-12 within their House.

Some of the staff who help support students as part of a caring and supportive environment in which they are encouraged to develop socially, emotionally and intellectually include:-
