Since 2003

Welcome to website dedicated to the most recent history of the school. As events in the present slip into the past, this part of the web site will form an archive of those images and events that make up my principalship. For that reason, this page will always be under construction. Check the ACTA electronic versions for a great memory of the year.

Some extracts from 2004

Sunflower Winners! A combination of animal manure and chemical fertilizer has won Toowoomba State High School students The University of Queensland sunflower competition.For months, students from 34 schools across the state have been watering, fertilising and nourishing their sunflowers to measure the heaviest and biggest specimens. Toowoomba’s Grade 8E class at Wilsonton grew the eight heaviest sunflowers winning first and second prizes with flowers weighing about 1.51kg and 1.46kg. Well done!

Read about Year 8 Canoe Day
Jessica Assim

Yesterday my whole class went by bus to Cressbrook Dam.  On the bus ride there, we sang songs and chatted with friends.  When we eventually got there, we unpacked the canoes then Mr Head told us the safety rules and what to do if we capsized.  We chose our partners, I was with Lauren and Katie.  We paddled around the dam in a cove for about three hours.  We played a game where you had to throw a ball into another person’s canoe.  That was fun!  In the process Brock and Kyle capsized so we had to give them a helping hand.  The last part was the most exciting but.  You had to paddle out with no paddle while two people were standing up doing the Macarena.  Everyone capsized.  The water tasted feral and there was green seaweed everywhere.I learnt that day, how to work in a team and cooperate with other people.  It was also a good time to practise my canoeing skills which I think needs a bit of work!
