Discover Caloundra – The Perfect Study Destination
Caloundra State High School is ideally located in the heart of Caloundra, one of the Sunshine Coast's most popular coastal destinations. As the only Queensland state school with ocean views, our students enjoy a truly unique learning environment.
A Coastal Lifestyle with Endless Opportunities
Caloundra is known for its stunning beaches, relaxed atmosphere, and vibrant community. The town offers a range of retail shops, cafes, restaurants, a bowling alley, a movie theatre, and sporting clubs—all within easy reach. The area is home to a mix of young families and retirees, creating a safe and welcoming environment for international students.
Sports & Recreation at Your Doorstep
Our school is located next to an aquatic centre, soccer and rugby league fields, and just minutes from tennis, basketball, netball, dance, and football clubs. This gives students plenty of opportunities to get involved in extracurricular activities after school.
For those who love the water, Pumicestone Passage is a popular spot for boating, kite surfing, and paddleboarding, while nearby beaches—Dicky's, Shelly, and Kings Beach—offer some of the best surfing on the Sunshine Coast. As part of our Coast to Country Aussie Experience Program, students will be catching their first waves within their first three weeks!
Easy Transport & Accessibility
Getting to and from school is simple, with bus stops located right outside our campus. Many homestay families live close to the school or public transport, making travel easy. The Sunshine Coast has an accessible public transport system, allowing students to explore on weekends and experience everything the region has to offer.
