Welcome to Tropical North Learning Academy- Smithfield State High School.
Smithfield State High School provides a positive and welcoming environment where students and their learning and wellbeing are our priorities. Our teachers are committed to providing the best academic outcomes, and we have strong networks and clear pathways to support student engagement and achievement. Teachers, administrators and support staff empower students to take responsibility for their own learning and challenge them to achieve their best possible results.
At Smithfield State High School we take a holistic approach to developing young people's learning. Our Junior, Middle and Senior school curriculum is progressive, inclusive, innovative and caring, while still incorporating the core elements of education that have traditionally been essential for success. The school has an outstanding history of our students achieving some great academic results and authentic connections to future pathways while also demonstrating their ability and readiness to make a valuable contribution to the wider community. At Smithfield State High School we also have high expectations of students which are communicated through policies, procedures and routines. We work to provide students with many extra-curricular and co-curricular opportunities, and celebrate and reward success.
