LNP Opposition Leader and Member for Nanango Deb Frecklington

February 5, 2020

Opposition Leader and Member for Nanango Deb Frecklington says the State Government has not completed its promised air-conditioning rollout before the first week of the school year, and local students were missing out.

Mrs Frecklington said 11 South Burnett schools were still waiting for their promised air-conditioned classrooms.

“Temperatures have soared this week, and our local schoolchildren will be struggling to learn in these conditions,” Mrs Frecklington said.

“Education Minister Grace Grace promised to fast-track funding for schools to have their air-conditioning installed over the summer holidays, but this hasn’t happened.

“Unlike Labor, the LNP is committed to air-conditioning every State school in Queensland – without exception.

“The LNP knows that cool kids are smart kids.”

Mrs Frecklington said the South Burnett schools still awaiting air-conditioning in every classroom were:

  • Kingaroy State High School
  • Kumbia State School
  • Murgon State School and State High School
  • Nanango State High School
  • Proston P-10
  • Taabinga State School
  • Tanduringie State School
  • Windera State School
  • Yarraman P-9
  • Goomeri P-10
