Balaclava State School's expansive grounds are situated in Central Cairns with our school population reflecting the multi-cultural face of Cairns. At Balaclava State School we strive to develop strong relationships between school, home and the wider community to maximise our learning environment. We are committed to the Far North Queensland (FNQ) Region of the Department of Education and Training Service Commitment to students. This Service Commitment meets the training and skilling needs of population, industries and communities in FNQ.
