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 School is located on the beautiful Gold Coast in South East Queensland.
We offer you a caring, supportive and inclusive environment.
We are proud of our record of academic, sporting and artistic achievement and we believe in recognising and celebrating hard work, effort and high achievement.
As we are a large school, our many highly trained and experienced teachers deliver a wide range of diverse programs and opportunities including many that are not available at any other Gold Coast school.
We use the latest technology including our aquaculture centre and laboratories.
Our partnerships with Griffith University, Bond University and Southern Cross University provide you with unique and flexible pathways into tertiary education.
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 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 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. Find out more about our holiday adventure programs.
