“We acknowledge the Dungidau clan as the traditional custodians of the land on which our school is built. We pay our respects to their ancestors both past, present and future.”

Welcome to our website...

At Tullawong, we aim to be a student-centered school, striving for all students to achieve quality educational outcomes and become active citizens in a learning community.

Tullawong State School is in Dungidau country. The Dungidau is a clan group of the Jinibara language group.

Mr John Clifford was the first principal of Tullawong State School. After discussions with Aboriginal Elder, Mr Ken Doulton, the decision was made to name the school Tullawong after an Aboriginal word meaning ‘mountain magpie’ (or possibly ‘currawong’).

This was chosen from a list of Aboriginal bird and animal names from the local Undambi language group, as provided by Mr Doulton. The school logo and name reflect the culture and history of the Aboriginal heritage and the traditional custodians of the land. The logo of the school was designed by ‘Minnie Mace’, (Miss Lynnelle Mace of Bribie Island). It depicts a background of the Glasshouse Mountains, with a Mountain Magpie in the foreground. The school motto, ‘We Are Our Future’, is inspirational and forward-looking, while the school name and logo provide a firm reminder of the school’s past in the form of the local area’s original cultural heritage.

Our student community covers Prep to Year 7 and currently caters for 1,080 precious children. We are fortunate to have a tree-filled campus, with lots of greenery creating a peaceful environment.

TULLAWONG CROSS COUNTRY RESULTS
Another exciting two mornings of long distance racing was seen at the Twentieth Annual Tullawong Cross Country. Students had been training hard over the last three months to get themselves fit for this event and at the same time improving their general health.

This year we again ran the distances that matched those done at District level and above. The track came together nicely and most students learnt how to pace themselves over the increased distances.

Absentee Line PHONE 5431 4660 Phone 5431 4660 and leave a message to explain why your child is absent. The service operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! Our school target is zero unexplained absences.

We did not need to change to our wet weather track as this year the conditions were perfect - overcast and cool. Students who ran the course deserve congratulations for a fine effort. Well Done!

The first five competitors in the 10, 11, 12 and 13 year age groups will get the opportunity to represent the school at the Caboolture District Cross Country on Thursday 22nd May.
