I am both honoured and excited to write my first newsletter to the Cairns State High School community, it is a privilege to join this incredible community of learners and educators even if it is just for a short time.  I look forward to working together to continue building a school environment where every student feels supported, inspired, and empowered to succeed.

It has been moving for me and I deeply appreciate the warm welcome that I have received. In the last week I have had the opportunity to meet with staff, parents and students. I have been overwhelmed by the enthusiasm, energy, passion and pride that every person has. It is so obvious how proud we all are to be part of this great school. The way the students have shown respect in their conversations with me in classrooms and in the playground has been heartening. I have enjoyed walking the school meeting students and getting their views on life at Cairns State High School. 

I would like to take a moment to wish Mr Zilm a full and speedy recovery which will see him return in Week 5. In the meantime, I am committed to ensuring continuity, stability, and a positive learning experience for all. 

As we move forward, I welcome open communication and collaboration. Whether you're a parent, student, or staff member, your voice matters. Together, we will continue to uphold the strong values and traditions of this school, while also looking ahead to new opportunities for growth and innovation. 

My focus is to ensure we maximise outcomes for every student in the school and that they behave appropriately, present themselves with pride and that they work to the best of their ability every lesson, every day. I look forward to working with our incredible teachers and support staff to ensure that this happens. 

We have an exciting term ahead, filled with learning, activities, and opportunities for growth. We look forward to working with you to provide an enriching learning experience for all our students.

Thank you for your support and trust.

Mr Frank Brunetto

Executive Principal
