At Toogoolawah SHS we also value
The worth of every individual

The desire to learn
The spirit of co-operation
High ethical and moral behaviour
Sincere effort
Equality of opportunity
Within a positive, caring learning environment, we believe each student has the opportunity to:
Enjoy learning
Develop mental and physical abilities to the fullest
Develop and maintain self-esteem
Develop an inquiring mind
