I would like to extend a warm welcome to all International students wishing to study at Palm Beach Currumbin State High. I am very proud of our International Program and the special opportunities it provides to students. We aim to assist every student to achieve their full potential and our mission is reflected in our school’s motto of "Nil Sed Optima" – "Nothing but the Best". We do this by providing an extensive choice of subjects including Academic, Sporting and Creative Arts Excellence programs which add to the richness of the educational experience. Our dedicated staff are there to support you in all aspects of the program. You will find our staff and students friendly, approachable, they share a love of our school. I would like to invite you to experience the wonderful culture of PBC and look forward to the honour of welcoming you to our community soon.
Palm Beach Currumbin State High (PBC) is located on the beautiful Gold Coast in South East Queensland, Australia.
Imagine 35 acres of extraordinary land on the doorstep of the Pacific Ocean, bordered by a river, and within easy walking distance to one of the world’s best surfing beaches. It is little wonder that the unmatched setting of PBC has made it one of the most popular international schools in Queensland.
As a large school, we have the distinct advantage of offering a wide range of diverse programs and opportunities, delivered by highly trained and experienced teachers, and using state-of-the-art technology, including the internet, multimedia equipment, aquaculture centre and laboratories.
At PBC, we believe in recognition and celebration of hard work, effort and high achievement in all areas of schooling. We offer students a wide range of activities and experiences not available at any other Gold Coast school.
Homestay* enables EQI students to truly experience Australia's famous lifestyle.
By living with an Australian host family international students become part of the local community and have a fantastic opportunity to practise their English in a safe and caring home environment. International students often develop lasting friendships with their homestay families.
Standard Homestay fees have been set and these are listed on the EQI program fees page.

* Students enrolled in Primary School must live with a parent or close relative as defined by the Australian Immigration Regulations.
EQI Holiday Adventure Programs are an exciting and safe way for International Students to travel and sightsee during school holidays.
There's an EQI adventure to suit every taste - from visiting city landmarks and riding camels on an unforgettable Australian 'outback' adventure, to exploring ancient rainforests and swimming with turtles off Queensland's pristine white sand beaches.
All EQI Holiday Adventures are fully guided and escorted by qualified Queensland Government teachers and staff to ensure student safety. These programs are open to international students enrolled in an EQI high school, and additional fees apply. To find out more visit the holiday programs page
