At Balmoral State High School, we are proud to offer an International Student Program that supports every student in achieving success both inside and outside the classroom. We know that moving to a new country is a big step, which is why our dedicated team provides ongoing guidance, care, and encouragement to help our international students settle in, feel at home, and thrive in their studies.
Our program opens the door to a wide variety of subjects and opportunities, allowing students to explore their interests and discover new passions. From studying Hospitality and developing real-world skills, to joining our Football Academy or taking part in a wide range of other sports such as basketball, or netball, with our Netball Academy – there are so many ways to get involved.
As one of Brisbane’s leading Aviation schools, we proudly offer specialised subjects in STEM and Aerospace Studies, with strong partnerships through Boeing and Aviation Australia. These programs give students the chance to learn in unique fields and prepare for exciting future careers.
Our beautiful school, located just five kilometres from Brisbane’s city centre, provides the perfect setting for learning and growth. With modern facilities, open spaces, and a supportive school community, Balmoral is a place where international students are encouraged to excel academically while also enjoying sport, culture, music, and the arts.
At Balmoral, our international students are not just welcomed – they are celebrated. We look forward to supporting you on your journey, helping you build lifelong friendships, and giving you every opportunity to succeed.
