Lutheran School on Friday morning.<\/p>\n<p>The building consists of five classrooms &#8211; catering for students in Years 10, 11 and 12 &#8211; as well as two dedicated science labs, several breakout areas and a staff room.<\/p>\n<p>Principal Karyn Bjelke-Petersen said construction work began in May last year, with students moving into the facility just 10 weeks ago.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mrs Bjelke-Petersen said the school funded the project through fundraising and savings as well as loans.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have been blessed in the past to have government funding but we funded this by ourselves,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>The Reverend Luke Spilsbury, second Assistant Bishop (Lutheran Church of Australia Queensland District) and School Council chair Warren Layt were special guests at the opening ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>South Burnett councillors and past School Council members were also among the invited guests, who enjoyed music provided by the school&#8217;s orchestra.<\/p>\n<p>There are eight students who will be graduating in St John&#8217;s first Year 12 class.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_352854\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-352854\"
