Aloomba State School is a small school close to the major centre of Cairns and has achieved success in developing several innovative environmental programs which have attracted local and state-wide media attention. We have a close-knit community and the school is the focal point. Many school events are organised throughout the year which are well-attended and supported by our local community. We have very good student behaviour (nil student disciplinary absences) and high levels of academic achievement, the majority of our students' results being above the national average in statewide testing. Our parents and community are very supportive and involved in school daily life.
