Cavendish Road State High School is a co-educational, state secondary school located in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Established in 1952, Cavendish Road State High School was the second state high school to be built in the suburbs of Brisbane. The school is a short distance from the Brisbane CBD.

The school motto, "Nil sine pulvere", translates roughly from Latin as "nothing without dust, nothing without effort." The school has developed "Excellence Programs" in science and sport. These include the Brisbane Academy of Science, soccer, netball, touch and rugby league excellence programs. As part of these "Excellence Programs" 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.

Curriculum

The Senior Curriculum of the school provides students with the option of studying Board (theory-based subjects — required for entry to University) or board registered (practical-based) subjects.
