Loganlea State High operates a working property which enables learning opportunities in animal husbandry and farming.[1] In recent years, students partaking in the agribusiness program have been able to spend time on a remote property in Central Queensland in order to gain practical skills as well as a sense of independence.[2]

The school opened Knowledge House in 2006. Its purpose is to establish a more Indigenous-friendly curriculum. Knowledge House is a safe space, an Indigenous cultural experience, achieving results in urban areas for jarjums and community. 'Jarjums' is an Aboriginal word for students.

Students participate in group sporting activities as a member of one of Four houses; Pegasus (PEG), Hydra (HYD), Sagitta (SAG) and Ursa (URS). The School Swimming Carnival includes a teacher versus student relay, which is not seen at many other schools. The Dance Eisteddfod Team competes in the Brisbane performing challenge and the Ipswich Dance Eisteddfod.

Alumni Lists from 1982 can be found at Names Database.
