Welcome to Cairns Adventist College.
Since joining the College in 2018, it has been a privilege to lead a Christ-centred school community that is passionate about nurturing young minds and hearts. At Cairns Adventist College, we believe education is about far more than academic achievement—it’s about helping each student discover their God-given potential in a caring and supportive environment.
Our mission is to provide a holistic education that supports not only intellectual growth but also emotional, social, and spiritual wellbeing. We see each child as a unique individual, and we are deeply committed to walking alongside our students and their families—encouraging them, praying for them, and supporting them in every aspect of life.
Our faith in God guides everything we do. Through daily worship, meaningful relationships, service opportunities, and Bible-based learning, we aim to inspire students to grow in character, compassion, and a love for God and others.
In addition to our strong spiritual emphasis, we also offer a rigorous academic program that prepares students for success in college and beyond. Our dedicated teachers challenge and support our students as they strive for academic excellence and personal growth. We are a personal community, which caters to the individual needs of each student and helps them reach their full potential.
I invite you to explore our website and learn more about the unique opportunities available at Cairns Adventist College. Whether you are a prospective student, parent, or community member, we welcome you to join us on this journey of faith, learning, and service. Thank you for considering our school—we look forward to partnering with you in the education of your child.
