Innisfail State College

Welcome to Innisfail State College’s Facebook Page. Our business is the business of learning and we offer ‘Distinctive Education and Training in the Wet Tropics’. Innisfail State College was opened in 2010. The College came into operation with the closure of Innisfail State High School, Innisfail Inclusive Education Centre – A State Special School and Innisfail Campus of Tropical North Queensland TAFE in 2009 to form the only integrated site of its kind as Innisfail State College. We provide education and training for special school students (prep – yr 12), secondary schooling students (year 8-12) and TAFE training for adult students. Our College logo of ‘Distinctive Education and Training’ underscores our belief that we are a distinctive education and training provider located in Far North Queensland with an emphasis on providing education and training responsive to community needs, is future orientated and employs ‘Tomorrow Schools’ philosophy with the use of technology. Our focus is on the individual student and we work hard at developing positive relationships between students, caregivers and the community as we believe ‘It takes a whole village to raise a child and our College community to educate a child’ (or adult). We recognize that our students’ pathways after secondary schooling are varied, so provide a quality holistic and diverse curriculum program offering the traditional secondary education academic subjects catering for Tertiary bound students as well as providing nationally accredited vocational subjects which will equip our students for the workforce. We have access to TAFE programs on site and on line University courses and have integrated post secondary options for students while still undergoing secondary schooling. Innisfail State College can meet your child’s or your learning needs. We value excellence and expect our students to achieve their personal best in all endeavours and take an active role within the College. Our success is due largely to a caring and committed staff, a supportive community, energy for change and a broad curriculum, which is focused on a diversity of student needs in an increasingly complex society. Our purpose, in this environment of increasing change, is to meet the learning needs of all students and provide each young person or adult with the opportunity to achieve success in their desired future outcomes.
