I would like to extend a warm welcome to all International students wishing to study at Palm Beach Currumbin (PBC) 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.

PBC 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 technologies including our aquaculture centre and laboratories.
Our partnerships with Griffith, Bond and Southern Cross Universities provide you with unique and flexible pathways into tertiary education.
All of our partnerships allow students to undertake ‘student for a semester’ programs.
All PBC graduates will also be eligible to apply for direct or guaranteed admission to these institutions.
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.
Students have their own bedroom with study facilities, three meals a day, and access to transport to and from school, and to school activities.
