The Social Justice Faculty at Maroochydore State High School provides and coordinates a range of services for students at risk of suspension/exclusion, disengagement or leaving school before completing year 12.

A variety of proactive activities aimed at preventing and reducing the frequency and severity of classroom and playground behaviour incidents are offered. In addition to providing support for classroom teachers, students and their parents, the faculty assists with pre-service and in-service teacher education and professional development at the school and district level.

Members of the Social Justice Faculty include a Head of Department, behaviour support teacher, school based Nurse, Chaplain and Police Officer.

They facilitate programs including:

• “Bully Busters”
• Beacon Foundation's, “No Dole” project.
• “Rock and Water”
• “Healthy Relationships”
• “Resourceful Adolescence Program”
• “Hope, Identity, Purpose”.
• 6-20 day suspension students are offered an alternate academic program.

Faculty members work closely with a range of personnel, both within and external to the school. Once a fortnight, the Social Justice faculty meet with these personnel at a Student Welfare Committee meeting to discuss and review the progress of individually case managed students.
