A message from the Study Cairns President

A warm welcome to Study Cairns,

As the current President of Study Cairns, it is my pleasure to extend a heartfelt welcome to our international students. Our city and region are renowned for the stunning Great Barrier Reef and the lush Daintree Rainforest, offering not only exceptional natural beauty but also a wealth of educational opportunities.

Students are drawn to Cairns not only for its academic excellence but also for the diverse range of experiences it offers. From the Great Barrier Reef to the Daintree Rainforest, our region provides unparalleled access to nature. Additionally, the abundance of casual job opportunities in tourism, hospitality, and retail further enhances Cairns’ appeal to students worldwide.

Our Study Cairns Student Hub serves as a central resource, offering personalised care and support to international students. From organising activities and workshops to providing advice on schools, tours, and employment, our team is dedicated to ensuring that students have the best possible experience while studying and living in our region. We also prioritize enhancing students’ employability through tailored programs and support services.

The Study Cairns Executive Committee is committed to showcasing the exceptional education opportunities available in our region and fostering strong ties with our international student community. These students contribute invaluable talent and skills across various industries, enriching our region in numerous ways.

Looking ahead to 2024, I am excited to continue welcoming and supporting our students, forging new partnerships within our community, and advancing our efforts to promote Cairns and Far North Queensland as premier destinations for international education.

I extend my sincere gratitude to Study Queensland and Cairns Regional Council for their ongoing support, which enables us to offer unparalleled experiences to our international students and advance the education sector for the benefit of our region and students.

Thank you for choosing Cairns as your study destination. Please do not hesitate to reach out to Study Cairns directly for all your educational and lifestyle inquiries.

Warm regards,

Samara Dever
