Spinifex State College – Mount Isa opened in 2003 after community consultation determined that the two previous state high schools - Mount Isa State High School and Kalkadoon State High School - should merge.
Spinifex State College - Mount Isa is a three campus educational facility. Commencing 2015 junior campus will cater to years 7-9, senior campus years 10-12 and the residential campus.
College Colours
Our college colours are navy blue and burnt orange. These colours were selected by the school community, as they represent our district – the blue of the sky and the orange of our earth.
College Logo
Our college logo was selected after community consultation. The logo was designed by a former Mount Isa student, Janet Pogorelc. Janet proposed this logo as a new stylised representation of the Spinifex plant, emerging from a box, representing the idea of thinking outside the box.
Sporting Houses
The school community voted on a number of options that had been proposed by school members. The house names chosen are named after the local water reserves.
