Principal: Hi my nameÕs Frank Brunetto and IÕm the Principal of Smithfield State High School. Smithfield State High School forms part of the Tropical North Learning Academy; we work very closely with our partner primary school Trinity Beach State School and our wonderful university that is positioned across the road, James Cook University. Smithfield State High School we believe is the gateway to success; every student that comes into our school has a range of subjects in which they can experience which caters for their learning needs.

I canÕt wait to see you be part of our wonderful school and I welcome you to achieve and strive to be your best. Student (Vanda): When I first started choosing schools in Queensland, I really wanted to be close to The Great Barrier Reef and beaches. So when I researched schools, I really liked Smithfield State High School because it was close to the beaches and had a tropical island school feeling. Student (Daniella): Here at Smithfield State High School we have a range of many different subjects to choose from. My favourite subject is outdoor recreation. We have a range of many different excursions such as snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef, hiking and even kayaking on local freshwater rivers. Student (Zane): Here at Smithfield High weÕve got many new facilities all around the school. This one we are in now is the Centre of Athlete Development and Performing Arts. All of our PE classes and fitness classes come in here and use this facility every day. A lot of kids love it and get around it and there are plenty of people in the gym here right now.
