Woongoolba State School Welcome to Woongoolba State School.

Woongoolba State School is a smaller school in student numbers but our volunteers are huge in their dedication and support of the school.

🥶🏃‍♂️ Kokoda Training Update! 🏃‍♀️🥶

Our final (optional) Kokoda training session was held at Gainsborough Parkrun this morning. At a brisk 7 degrees, taking off the jumper required far more courage than running the 5km!

After weeks of tackling hills that seem to go on forever, running 5km on flat ground felt like a holiday. The team cruised through the course, getting used to running in a pack and putting their fitness to the test.

Next week, our Kokoda Warriors take on the 18km Schools Cup Challenge at Brookfield. They are more than ready—in fact, they're absolutely chomping at the bit to get started!

That said, a few may not make it if they keep jumping out of bushes to scare Mrs Graham during training. I'm not entirely sure my heart rate can safely go any higher. 😳🌿

A huge well done to the team this morning. The hard work is done, the fitness is there, and now it's time to put it all together next week. We're proud of you all!

A massive thank you to our team sponsors as always for helping us get there! Artz Pest and Termite Beenleigh BatteriesWoods Law Group

🌟 Year 6 Camp Update – Day 2 🌟

Another full day of adventure, challenge and memories for our Year 6 students at Runaway Bay Sport & Leadership Excellence Centre 🎉

Today was packed with exciting activities, including stand-up paddleboarding, Survivor-style challenges and another fantastic session with Olympics Unleashed. 🏄‍♀️🏆

Brooke Hanson, Olympic Swimmer and medalist from the Athens 2004 Olympics, shared inspiring messages to our students about unlocking their potential, embracing their passions and backing yourself to achieve great things. Our students were engaged, reflective and ready to take on every opportunity that came their way.

Now, with hungry bellies full, pyjamas on and everyone getting cosy, it's time to relax and enjoy movie night together. 🎬✨

We can't wait to see what tomorrow brings as the adventure continues!

Thanks again to our awesome teachers who are helping our students to step outside their comfort zone, and for taking such good care of our students.

🌲🎯 Year 6 Camp Update! 🎯🌲

Hey parents! Just wanted to give you a quick update from the exciting adventures of Year 6 camp! The kids are having an absolute ball learning the fine art of teamwork, and guess what? They've even taken up archery! Not quite sure why we need archery skills unless they’re preparing for a future as professional dart throwers, but hey, who doesn’t want to learn how to shoot arrows? 🏹

Dinner last night was a smashing success with meatballs and garlic bread—because what’s better than carbs and more carbs? 🍝🥖

We’ve got another action-packed day lined up, and so far, everyone is thriving and (mostly) unscathed! They were up and ready before the sun this morning so let’s see how they go! A huge shoutout to Mrs. Fischer and Mr. Sperling for keeping things under control—hang in there, you’re doing great! 🙌

Stay tuned for more updates from the fun-filled adventures of camp! 🏕️😄

What a fantastic day our Year 5 students had on their Gold Rush excursion! 🤠⛏️✨

Students stepped back in time to experience life during the gold rush era. They tried their hand at making traditional damper, learned the art of gold panning, and visited the local grocery store to purchase essential items just as miners would have done many years ago.

The day was filled with hands-on learning, teamwork, and plenty of excitement as students discovered what life was like during one of Australia's most important historical periods.

A wonderful educational experience that brought history to life for everyone involved! ⭐️

Thank you to Mrs Pryce for organising the day and our amazing staff for making it happen!

Year 6 campers are off! They’re absolutely a 'cup full of excitement' as they head off for three days of adventures, memories and just a little bit of mischief (the supervised kind, of course!).

Meanwhile, we suspect some parents are also feeling a little excited... perhaps at the thought of three days of peace, quiet and a fridge that mysteriously stays stocked. 😄

Enjoy this little video of our Year 6 students overflowing with excitement before they set off. We can't wait to hear all about their camp adventures!

🌟 Positive Culture for Learning 🌟

This fortnight, our school is focusing:

💛 Being Kind 💛

Kindness is one of the simplest and most powerful ways we can make a positive difference in our school community. Being kind means using friendly words, including others, helping when we can, and showing care and respect to those around us.

Throughout fortnight, students will be learning and practising ways to:

✔ Pause and Think before they act or speak
✔ Choose Kind Words and Actions
✔ Be an Upstander by helping others and doing the right thing

Together, we can create a school where everyone feels welcome, supported and valued.

Thank you for partnering with us to encourage kindness every day.

🚨 We are Safe! 🚨

Today we completed a successful lockdown drill at Woongoolba State School, and we couldn’t be prouder of our students and staff. Everyone remained calm, followed instructions carefully, and all students were accounted for in record time! 👏💚💛

Practising lockdown procedures is an important part of keeping our school safe. While we hope we never need to use these procedures in a real situation, regular practice ensures that students and staff know exactly what to do and can respond quickly and calmly if needed.

Ask your child tonight what they need to remember when they hear the lockdown siren! 🔒📢
Do you know what you'd need to do if you were volunteering at our school and a lockdown occurred?

A message from our P&C President

A huge thank you to everyone who helped out (and to those who offered to help) at King of the Pin 2026!

A special shout-out to our amazing student helpers, and to Brooke and Reece for helping me organise the day. Everything ran smoothly, everyone had a great time, and in what can only be described as a sausage-related miracle... we completely sold out of sausages! 🌭🎉

A big thank you also to Teys Australia for generously donating the $250 meat tray that we raffled off.

Thanks to everyone's support, hard work, and appetite for sausages, we finished the day with a profit of **over $1,600!** What an incredible result!

We couldn't have done it without you all! 👏😊

Also a big shout out to Gem Hotel Social Fishing Club Inc for donating $1000

Kind regards:
