Cunnamulla State School is an isolated P-12 campus in the Darling Downs/South West Region.
It was founded in 1877 as Cunnamulla’s first school and is situated on the banks of the Warrego River. We are approximately 900km west of Brisbane, with the closest major town being Charleville 200km to the north.
The major industries in the district are sheep and cattle grazing. New industries such as table grapes and cotton have been developed over the past 10 years and the tourism industry is slowly taking off. Due to drought and other influences, the township itself is slowly losing momentum and job prospects are limited. Hence many residents are welfare dependant.
Cunnamulla State School draws its enrolments from both the town of Cunnamulla and a few rural residences. The school has approximately 190 students, which fluctuates throughout the year. We currently have 54 staff which includes Admin, Teaching Staff, Teacher Aides, Tutors, an IT Assistant, Community Education Counsellor, Admin Officers, Janitor/Groundsman and Cleaners.
