Welcome to Corinda State High School, a vibrant, inclusive learning community where students are supported to achieve academic success, personal growth and global understanding.

At Corinda, we are proud to offer a truly distinctive educational experience. Our ten Programs of Excellence combine academic, elective and sporting pathways, allowing students to pursue their passions while achieving strong academic outcomes. Complementing this is our extensive five-language program and exceptional facilities, including our unique 12-acre Smart Farm, where students engage in real-world agricultural learning and hands-on experiences beyond the classroom.

We are committed to ensuring every student is supported to succeed. Our dedicated teaching staff and specialist English as an Additional Language or Dialect (EALD) team provide targeted academic and language support, enabling international students to build confidence and thrive in their studies. From arrival, students receive personalised guidance designed to strengthen English proficiency, academic skills and classroom engagement.

Corinda provides clear and supported pathways into Australian universities and TAFE institutions. Our Senior Schooling and International teams work closely together to guide students through subject selection, tertiary applications and future planning, ensuring a smooth transition from secondary school to further study. Alongside this, our International Office plays a central role in daily student wellbeing, offering ongoing guidance, connection and a welcoming space where students feel safe, supported and valued.

With students representing more than 60 cultural backgrounds, diversity is one of our greatest strengths. Our school culture is built on respect, inclusion and belonging, reflected in our motto, Six Houses, One Family. Through buddy programs, structured support systems and strong relationships with host families, international students quickly become part of our community both inside and outside the classroom.

At Corinda, we believe education extends beyond academic achievement. We focus on developing confident, capable young people who are prepared for a global future while feeling connected to a caring school community. We look forward to welcoming you to Corinda State High School.
