Welcome to our Tullawong State High School community, where our school vision is: Empowering students to reach their full potential. We will achieve this vision through our mission statement; Fostering a positive culture for learning, allowing all students to create their future.
Complementing our vision and mission, is our motto, soaring to great heights. We enact our vision, mission and motto through our four school values of Courage, Integrity, Diligence and Respect, which we explicitly teach to our students via a 'Positive Behaviour for Learning' lens.
We pride ourselves on our inclusive school environment, where every child is nurtured and challenged to soar to great heights. Our school is committed to ensuring that every child who attends our school, is challenged to reach their full potential, through access to a diverse range of learning opportunities.
We are committed to delivering an academic advantage to our students that will contribute significantly to their future success in work, family life and community service. We understand that the work we do today, sets our students up successfully for life after school, which is why we have an extension dance and rugby league program to support our students to reach beyond the ordinary, to the extraordinary. These extension programs provide students with opportunities to excel with industry professionals.
We enjoy a close relationship with our local tertiary and vocational education centres. Tullawong State High School students have the advantage of participating in university head start programs as well as taster programs in the allied health, business and fitness industries.
We also function as our own Registered Training Organisation with a significant amount of Vocational Education and Training (VET) certificates on our scope. This means that we can empower students to achieve qualifications that will not only contribute to their Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) but will also allow them to gain industry-level competencies, which can lead to employment, further training and/or study.
Our house system is the underpinning structure for our positive and inclusive learning culture, where students and staff have the opportunity to learn and create in a disciplined environment, allowing all students to create their future. Every member of our community should feel a strong sense of belonging, within an environment of high expectations.
We are committed to ensuring our students feel part of our community and we use our house system and ignite structure to support this. Our collective drive to empower each student to reach their full potential, is reflected in the energy and diligence invested in our work, to make every lesson count.
We empower our students to undertake their work with diligence, courage, respect and integrity, and in doing so, set them up for success so that they can contribute meaningfully to our community and our economy. Our students soar to great heights because we empower them to reach their full potential, by fostering a positive culture for learning, allowing all students to create their future.
We look forward to welcoming you into the Tullawong family.
