Education Minister John-Paul Langbroek has confirmed the majority of Queensland State Schools will re-open tomorrow … but there’s nine schools in the South Burnett that will stay closed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe safety of students, staff and the wider community is the first consideration when making the decision to close a school,\u201d Mr Langbroek said.<\/p>\n

\u201cStudents are expected to return to school as normal tomorrow (January 29) unless it\u2019s been used as an evacuation centre or has been closed because of access or safety issues.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I urge parents, even if their school is open, to use their discretion and consider access issues, road closures and transport in their community before sending their child to school.\u201d<\/p>\n

A full update of school closures can be found online at http:\/\/dete.qld.gov.au\/natural-disasters.html<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cClosures of early childhood centres, TAFEs and Independent and Catholic schools will also be on the website,\u201d Mr Langbroek said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe decision to close schools was made on the basis of whether parents can access a school, whether the school has power and sewerage and whether the school is being used as an evacuation centre.\u201d<\/p>\n

The following State Schools facilities will be closed tomorrow:<\/strong><\/p>\n
