Woree State High School (WSHS) is a public school situated in the southern suburbs of Cairns, North Queensland, Australia. The school provides education from Year 8 to 12 and has around 750 students. It was opened in 1985.

History

Woree SHS was built on an old Sugar Cane Farm, along with the surrounding suburbs and construction on the school was started in 1984, with the school opening in 1985. At the time of the school opening, there were only 5 buildings within the school (A,B,C,D Blocks), with construction continuing until 1989 when all but two blocks (H and Community Centre) were completed. In 1992, another block was added to WSHS (H Block) and in 2007 the Community Centre was completed.

Community

The Woree State High School community is very multicultural, with many different cultural backgrounds. This is reflected in the many NAIDOC ceremonies, and at all formal events.
