About the School
Corinda State High School is one of Brisbane's leading state high schools, proudly located in the city's vibrant western suburbs. Offering a comprehensive coeducational experience from Year 7 to Year 12, the school is renowned for its commitment to excellence, sustainability, and innovation.
Our Food Services department operates multiple outlets across the school, providing meals to over 2,000 students and 250 staff daily.
