Kowanyama State School

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. Since the beginning of 2014, we have also started to enrol students in our Year 11 and 12 Pathways program.

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.
