Kowanyama State School Welcome to the Kowanyama State School page! Since the beginning of 2014, we have also started to enrol students in our Year 11 and 12 Pathways program.

Our school of 210 students from PrePrep to Year 10 is located just inland from the Gulf of Carpentaria, approximately 1½ hours by plane or 8 hours by car from Cairns in Far North Queensland. As well as our commitment to getting students to school every day (Every Day Counts), our focus has always been on literacy and numeracy. We continue to devote a significant amount of time and resources into all aspects of literacy and numeracy - every day. This is further evidenced through a structured timetable that is devoted to each of the key aspects.

Turtle Camp 2026

This week, students took part in our Turtle Camp, beginning with an information session on Monday before heading out on Country.

Students were lucky enough to see a turtle come ashore, dig her nest and lay her eggs, as well as find baby turtle tracks along the beach. They also learnt about the threats turtles and their nests face from predators, and how protective cages can be used to help give hatchlings a better chance of survival.

There was also plenty of fishing and time spent learning and enjoying Country.

A big thank you to the Kowanyama Rangers, the PBC Rangers and Fitzroy and Francine for sharing their time, knowledge and experience with our students. A special thank you also to their teachers for giving up their time to make the camp possible.
