Welcome to the Wooroolin State School website and thank you for your interest in our school.
Wooroolin State School was established in 1901 and has thrived throughout its one hundred plus years of service to the Wooroolin community. The school is situated in the township of Wooroolin, approximately 20 kilometres north of Kingaroy and one hours' drive from the picturesque Bunya Mountains.
The school is an active member of the South Burnett Alliance of State schools, incorporating the Kingaroy District Small Schools Association. This Association includes Wooroolin, Coolabunia, Kumbia, Crawford, Tingoora and Durong South State Schools. Administration and staff of these schools have a strong network which aims to promote quality educational outcomes for all students.
The school motto Make Wooroolin Proud is a living motto which encourages confidence, independence and positivity in our student community. Through our motto, our school empowers students to be Productive, Responsible, Organised, United and Disciplined.
Our students are encouraged to be active leaders through our structured leadership program. Senior students may elect to become a student leader in one of a number of areas including Health & Fitness, Gardens and the Environment, and Fun & Fundraising. Leaders are supported by students in the senior group and have a teacher-mentor attached to their team. Actions are promoted and discussed at our Student Council meetings and students are strongly encouraged to take ownership of their motions to council.
The school grounds and play spaces include a junior fort and senior playground. A sandpit and active learning space is close to a large wet play area which includes a handball court. The school also has a large undercover play area as well as a tennis court/basketball court and extensive ovals.
We strongly encourage Every Student Succeeding. We believe that by individualising learning we can support every child's needs. Our staff is committed to working closely and communicating effectively with parents so that every student can succeed academically, socially and emotionally.
Thank you for reading our Welcome. I invite you to take some time to view our links. I look forward to sharing your child's educational journey at Wooroolin State School.
