A Tradition of Excellence

Established in 1960, Trinity bay has developed a tradition of excellence in teaching and learning that makes it one of the most respected public schools in Queensland. The school enjoys a positive reputation within the community of Cairns and provides an extensive curriculum for all its students.

Students

Trinity Bay State High School's International Program offers a rich, multifaceted learning opportunity for students from abroad. This year, students from Korea, Japan, Italy, Denmark, China, Brazil and Germany are enjoying full immersion into school life, as well as participation in a wide range of extra curricular activities. This provides the opportunity to learn and mature in a unique socio-cultural setting. The friendships forged assist in the study of new language and in long lasting contacts between participants and local students.

International students are included in all aspects of school life and meet regularly together as a cohesive group. Outings are arranged regularly, ESL support provided and a Teacher Mentor and Peer Support Program all contribute to the successful integration of international students into the school community.

At Trinity Bay all students are welcomed and supported. We are proud of our diverse multi-cultural population. Trinity Bay ethic promotes honesty, integrity, self worth and commitment.
