About Spinifex State College
Spinifex State College is a three-campus educational facility comprising a Junior Campus for years 7-9, a Senior Campus for years 10-12, and a Residential Campus housing boarding students.
We strive to cultivate clever, skilled, and creative learners by providing access to quality curriculum programs and learning opportunities. We inspire students to explore their passions, harness unique talents, and reach their full potential.
Each year, our students achieve excellent results due to support and readiness programs run by the school. Students transitioning into work or Vocational Education and Training (VET) benefit from close links with TAFE and industry.
Strong ties with Mount Isa Mines and other businesses offer authentic learning opportunities, preparing students for post-school pathways, including school-based apprenticeships/traineeships and work experience. Spinifex students are encouraged to excel and attain their best – we're proud of our students' achievements.
