Burnett Heads State School

The district was originally home to the Terebelangbunda people, who belonged to the Gurang Gurang tribe. Some archaeological evidence of this time remains in the area and the Indigenous history is reflected in art works around the school.
Student leadership is a priority at our school, once again to reflect our motto of ‘Progress through participation’. The student council represents the wider student body, while the elected school captains are expected to set an example of best practice in demonstrating the taught social emotional skills of, getting along, organisation, persistence, confidence and resilience.
