History
Established in 1952, Cavendish Road State High School was the second state high school to be built in the suburbs of Brisbane.[4]
A new sports centre, the Alan Sampson Sports Centre, was opened in September 2019 by Queensland Minister for Education and Industrial Relations Grace Grace. It was named in honour of former principal Alan Sampson, who served from 1997 to 2010.[5]
Location
The school is a short distance from the Brisbane CBD, giving it access to a range of corporations and tertiary education associations.[4]
Motto and programs
The school motto, Nil sine pulvere, nil praeter optima, translates from Latin as "Nothing without effort, nothing but the best".[1]
The school has developed partnerships with the University of Queensland, Griffith University, and the Queensland University of Technology, which allow eligible students to exit Year 12 with credit, fee-free, towards a university degree. A number of relationships with various sporting associations and private businesses (for apprenticeships/traineeships) in Queensland have also been developed.
