Sun Pacific College (SPC) has been a trusted leader in education in Cairns for over 20 years. Ten years ago, we moved to a modern 20,000 m² campus in the tranquil tropical gardens of Cairns’ Northern Beaches, combining academic excellence with natural beauty for an ideal learning environment.

Our campus features top-notch facilities, including swimming pools, tennis and basketball courts, a games room, on-site accommodation, and a buffet-style cafeteria with three meals daily. SPC offers a supportive environment, helping students adjust to life in Australia with personalized guidance.

SPC’s courses focus on interactive communication, with speaking and listening skills developed in class. Reading and writing are assigned as homework, allowing students to progress at their own pace. Our experienced faculty ensures personalized support, helping students reach their potential. At SPC, students receive the resources and care needed for success in their academic and personal journey.
