An old, demountable-style classroom block at Blackbutt State School is about to get a $250,000 overhaul.
Member for Nanango Deb Frecklington said Blackbutt State School was desperately in need of the upgrades.
“Last October I visited Principal Gayle Williamson, the staff and students at Blackbutt State School and saw firsthand the difficult and cramped conditions in several of the classrooms,” Mrs Frecklington said.
“I pledged to lobby the State Government to highlight the urgent need for facility upgrades and request funding for renewal of these old buildings.
“We have now secured this funding and I would like to congratulate Principal Gayle Williamson on her work to bring this to fruition.
“The classroom to be renovated is currently being used by the Year 4 and 5 students.
“I’m so pleased that the students and teachers can now look forward to improved conditions and a better teaching environment.”
