Cairns high 

Share definition Flag
A crappy high school in Cairns, far north Queensland. Although it is undeniably trash, it is probably the least trash school in Cairns.

Although that's not saying much.
Given your other options are:
A druggo at tbay
A thief at wooree
Gay at saints or monnies
Broke at TAS
A sex worker at Redlynch
or Ignored at Saint Mary's

It's important to note that Cairns high, is (undeniably) better than brissie state high - as demonstrated by just about every fanfare (a state run school music competition).

(Except that time the Cairns high symphony orchestra lost a hecking percussion ensemble)

I'm not gonna lie, if you want your kids to get an education move away from Cairns.

Cairns State High School 

Share definition Flag
The one school in Cairns that might exceed the very low bar set by the other schools. Most who go there without being in the catchment are pretentious arts students whose bragging about being "the best school in the state" is as loud as the Loves's buses at their stop drop and go area at the end of every school day.
Cairns State High School dominated the Eisteddfod today
>"smh of course they did" - the other schools, probably.

Striver 

Share definition Flag
The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
