ATTENTION 2027 YEAR 7 TOOLOOA STUDENTS
Tooloa will be holding another Year 7 Information Evening at Toolooa State High School on Tuesday 3 November at 5:00 pm for families of students planning to commence Year 7 in 2027.
The information evening will be held in our PAC (Performing Arts Centre), located at the front of the school.
This session will be the same as our previous information evening, so we recommend that only families who did not attend the previous session come along.
The evening will cover the key differences between primary school and high school, as well as important information to help families prepare for the upcoming Year 6 Orientation Days in Week 9 and the transition into Year 7 next year.
We would appreciate your assistance in sharing this information with any Year 6 families who have not yet attended an information session and are planning to enrol at Toolooa SHS next year.
Families can use the following link to book a seat for the evening:

Our Toolooa State High School page also provides information and updates for families. We encourage new families to follow our page so they can stay up to date with upcoming announcements, key dates and important information as they prepare for their child's transition to high school.

We are excited to announce that GWSS You’ve Got Talent commences Monday 26th October (Week 4)! 🎶✨

Performances will take place daily at 11:00am in the Music Room. Students have been scheduled for their performance day and have been advised where they can view the timetable to check their allocated time.

📌 Important reminder for students and parents:
If a student misses their allocated performance time, unfortunately, there will be no opportunity for a catch-up performance. They will need to wait and try again in 2027.

Yesterday, the GWSS Robotics Team proudly competed in the Gladstone Regional FIRST LEGO League competition at CQUniversity, and what an incredible day it was for our West Rabbiteers!
The team achieved the highest points on the table, taking home the Robot Performance Award and the Robot Design Award. We are also thrilled to share that our coach Mrs West received the Coach Award, and the team has been invited to compete at Nationals!
We couldn't be prouder of our amazing Robotics Team. They have represented West with enthusiasm, teamwork, dedication and outstanding sportsmanship throughout the competition.
Congratulations, West Rabbiteers and Mrs West! What an incredible achievement. We wish you all the very best at Nationals! 🐰🤖🏆
