We recognise the traditional owners of Cape York and the Torres Strait Islands and pay our respects to our elders, past and present.
Our Mission
To develop proud, strong, educated Indigenous men and women, who walk confidently in two worlds, to be leaders, and to be role models for their families and communities.
Our Vision
To be the school of choice for students, parents and communities in Cape York and the Torres Strait Islands.
πΆβ¨ Hands-On Learning at Child World Early Learning Centre! β¨πΆ
Our Certificate III in Early Childhood students had an amazing day during their excursion to Child World Early Learning Centre 3! They thoroughly enjoyed spending time with the little ones, putting their skills into practice, and connecting with the children. It was a fantastic opportunity for our students to gain hands-on experience and grow in their future careers in early childhood education.
Such a rewarding day for all! π

π FNQ 3x3 Basketball Gala Day Success! π
Last week, our Year 7 and 8 teams showed off their talent and sportsmanship at the FNQ 3x3 Basketball Gala Day!
Our Year 7 team stayed competitive all day, with Jessie Murgha leading the charge. Her impressive defense and ball-driving skills kept the team in the game, holding their own alongside her four teammates!
The real highlight was our Year 8 team! They kicked off by only narrowly losing their first game to Cairns State High School by 6 points, then came back with a one-point win and even tied their next game! Kassarn wowed the crowd with his incredible ball-handling and signature step-back three-pointers. Their final game came down to a thrilling buzzer shot β and while it didnβt clinch the win, their determination and skill had everyone on the edge of their seats!
It was an honor to watch our teams in action, and the feedback from coaches and staff was inspiring. They were commended not only for their skills on the court but also for their sportsmanship and behavior off the court. π
Great job, everyone! Weβre so proud of you! π
