About the Department of Education
The Department of Education is dedicated to building an inclusive and diverse workforce that reflects the community and schools we support by treating everyone with respect and dignity.

About Wooloowin State School
With an enrolment of over 300 students, our school is large enough to ensure we have the resources and facilities we require to cater for the diverse learning needs of our students, but we are small enough that we are able to provide a family atmosphere and care for the individual.
Our school is committed to providing diverse opportunities that engage children, equipping them with a range of skills and knowledge in order to become successful learners within the school context and beyond.
The staff at Wooloowin State School is caring and committed to providing every opportunity for each student to work to the best of their ability and realise their potential. Our parents are supportive and our hard working Parents and Citizen's Committee help us to achieve our goals.
