Woree State School is a co-educational facility which opened in 1980 and is situated in the southern suburbs of Cairns. It is Prep to Year Seven campus with an enrolment of approximately 920 students. It is not unusual for students to travel some distance to attend the school. The close proximity of Woree High (situated across Rigg Street) means that some students commence their schooling at Woree State Primary and complete their senior year at Woree High. We are situated on 65 960 square metres of land and boast large grounds consisting of two ovals, two basketball courts, cricket nets, an adventure playground and two undercover play areas. Our community is a multicultural one. The prominent ethnic groups are Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander, Cook / South Sea Islander, Hmong and African students. Woree State School curriculum is organised around the essential learnings with all students studying all key learning areas.
