Schools in Cairns

2 schools in Cairns: 2 catholic.

Enrol is the department's own count: QLD non-state schools, February 2026 census, full-time students (full-time students only, Catholic and Independent schools — part-time students are published separately and not added). Departments count enrolment in different ways and years, so a figure is comparable only with others from the same series. It is a size figure, not a quality one.

School score is shown only where the school itself publishes a signal — attendance (NSW & SA) or university destinations (VIC). n/a means no such figure is published for that school, so we will not print one: the remaining signals describe Cairns as an area and are identical for every school in it. Our estimate from open data — not ICSEA, not an official rating.
