February 4, 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

Students at St Mary\u2019s Catholic College in Kingaroy were excited to return to school this year and discover several primary and secondary classrooms have been air-conditioned.<\/p>\n

New principal Carmel O\u2019Brien said a loan to install the air-conditioning was an investment in the College\u2019s ongoing role as a major educator in the community.<\/p>\n

The $250,000 first stage of the air-conditioning project was kept local as part of the College\u2019s commitment to using local tradespeople wherever they could. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Gary Favier, from Favier Building Industries, was appointed principal contractor for the eight-week project over the Christmas break.<\/p>\n

Gary managed the three local companies also involved in the project: Kingaroy Refrigeration which undertook the installation work in the primary rooms; Astill\u2019s Electrical which did the installation in the secondary rooms; and Fiedler Brothers Plumbing which assisted with associated drainage works.<\/p>\n

P&F president Damien Martoo was on hand for the official unveiling.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The P&F have committed to servicing the loan through their fundraising ventures.<\/p>\n

The first of these will be a Colour Fun Run on Saturday, February 22.<\/p>\n

It will be held in the school’s grounds in Kent Street, and is open to anyone who would like to have fun.<\/p>\n
