Palm Beach Currumbin State High has established itself as one of Queensland's leading high schools with a proud record of academic, sporting and artistic achievement. At the heart of this success is our school culture which is woven around our school motto 'Nil Sed Optima' which means 'nothing but the best'.

On a day to day basis our culture demands that every student and member of staff, do their best in every lesson, every day. Our aim is to be a world-class school which nurtures the talents of every student, positioning them to succeed in their preferred careers and thrive in all dimensions of a balanced adult life including relationships, health, creativity, citizenship and recreation.

Our school has a history of high performance across the range of academic, creative and sporting pursuits and is widely acknowledged as a leading high school in Queensland. Our strategic intent is to build on current strengths to position the school as world-class.

PBC is proud to be a member of the Happy School program. We value our staff and believe that the work we do is important. Staff morale and well-being have a huge impact on student achievement, relationships within our school and the successful implementation of change. High stress levels have a negative impact and increase staff absence. A happier staff leads to better results!
