About Cairns State High School
Cairns State High School, established in 1917, is a school that values its long traditions yet also looks forward with energy to the future. What sets Cairns State High apart from every other school is that we have used educational research to determine our focus for the future and kept it as simple as possible so we can achieve our objectives.
