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.

gollark: You could avoid having to maintain some kind of weird local-specific API for them, conveniently manage stuff on remote systems if you wanted to for whatever reason, and... okay that's about it.
gollark: > <@258639553357676545> yeah, but that should be separate from the service manage<@!309787486278909952> But you could make the `sv`/`systemctl` equivalent tools use that! It would be mildly convenient!
gollark: I thought runit just ran runsvdir or something which does all the actual *service* bits.
gollark: Would that not be fairly neat?
gollark: A cool idea would be to make it use a HTTP API for control, probably over unix sockets by default.
