New hall for Glennie Heights school

Education Minister John-Paul Langbroek congratulated staff and students at Glennie Heights State School, in the Southern Downs area, during the official opening of their new multi-purpose hall recently.
Mr Langbroek said the State Government, through the Department of Education, Training and Employment, was managing the implementation of the Federal Government’s Building the Education Revolution (BER) program in Queensland state schools.
The local school received $2 million under Primary Schools for the 21st Century (P21) element of BER for the multi-purpose hall. Minor refurbishments at the school were funded through an additional $125,000 under the National School Pride (NSP) element.
“I’m sure the new multi-purpose hall will prove valuable and become a much-used asset for the teachers as well as the current and upcoming students of Glennie Heights State School,” Mr Langbroek said.
“The Newman Government is committed to ensuring our children are given the best resources for their journey through our education system and providing facilities that will help arm Queensland kids with the skills they need to become our future workers.”
Mr Langbroek said he was committed to making a difference by supporting teachers and principals in the classroom.
“These federally-funded projects will help provide a greater environment for teaching and learning,” he said.
“Our Government is looking forward to working with Queensland schools, principals, and parents to ensure every child receives the best education possible,” Mr Langbroek said.
