Mr Bruce Houghton, ​College Principal

Bentley Park College is a state school located in the Southern Corridor of Cairns and offers the advantage of a complete Prep to Year 12 education.  The College opened its gates in 1997 and comprises Primary and Secondary Sectors, including a Special Education Program, on one of the largest school sites in Queensland.

Bentley Park College acknowledges the Gimuy Walubarra Yidinji People, the Traditional Owners of the land the College is located, and pay respect to their Elders, their Ancestors and Future Generations.

​At Bentley Park College, students achieve through quality teaching and learning and are motivated by the motto and vision, 'Aspire Learn Achieve'. Diversity is celebrated and the values of respect, responsibility and resilience are proudly upheld.

Our Pillars of Excellence underpin learning opportunities in Academia, Citizenship, The Arts, Technology and Sport, with students moving through the key juncture years of education (Years P-2, 3-6, 7-9 and 10-12) within an inclusive and enriching learning environment. Strengths in these areas are witnessed every day in our students and in the career success of our graduates.

Connections across many aspects of College life allow coordination of various learning programs to provide holistic student support services, and enables collaboration between Primary and Secondary students and staff.

The College is committed to working with and building our community, industry and tertiary partners to encourage students to discover and develop their interests and talents. We support each student to succeed in their chosen pathway, actively contribute to society and reach their full potential.

This is reflected in our service commitment - that every graduating student can achieve an ATAR and be on the pathway to university, pursue a vocational pathways program or transition successfully into the workforce.

Parents and carers are encouraged to play an active role in their student's learning and attend regular parent teacher interviews, information nights and College events. Joining our Parents and Citizens' Association or the Local Community Education Body is also a great way to stay connected and give back to the College community. 

​Welcome to Bentley Park College – please phone 07 4040 8130 to speak with our enrolments officer. We look forward to having you join us.
