James Cook Boys Technology High School is committed to educating young men to be ethically guided critical thinkers who are innovative life long learners. Each student is challenged to achieve his personal best through learning experiences within an inclusive and caring environment.

The school motto, Ignotum Quaerite means 'seek the unknown' or in simpler terms, always take the opportunity to discover and learn about new things.

Following the announcement on 12 November, James Cook Boys Technology High School and Moorefield Girls High School will transition to a new co-educational high school from Term 1 2026. 

Extensive community consultation in the surrounding school communities, found co-education was preferred by the majority of those surveyed with support particularly strong from local primary school parents and students. 

An increase in the student population at a co-educational school will expand the range of courses and extra-curricular activities for students, enhancing their post-school pathways and career options. We will provide regular updates on the progress of the project here and through the school newsletter.
