Kingaroy State High School’s new $6.3 million Junior Secondary building is rapidly taking shape.<\/p>\n

The second major concrete pour began on site this morning, a major milestone in the project.<\/p>\n

The building will accommodate Year 7 students who from next year will be taught at Kingaroy State High School instead of Kingaroy State School.<\/p>\n

The Year 7 change – which has led to a spate of new buildings and renovations at Queensland high schools – is part of the State Government’s “Flying Start” reforms which has also seen the introduction of Prep across Queensland.<\/p>\n

The two-storey u-shaped building will contain 11 classrooms, two flexible learning areas, a collaborative learning area and a staff room fitted out for 16 \u00a0teachers.<\/p>\n

There will also be storage areas on both levels.<\/p>\n

Tiered seating for students is located in the u-shaped area.<\/p>\n

Acting Kingaroy State High School principal Helen Maudsley said the building was air-conditioned and would include a lift.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“It’s on track to be completed by late October, pending no rain delays,” she said.<\/p>\n

A two-storey covered walkway will link the building to “E” and “L” blocks in the Kingaroy State High School complex.<\/p>\n

The old sheds that were on the site were removed last year but actual construction of the new building began in January.<\/p>\n

Hutchinson Builders are completing the project.<\/p>\n

Mrs Maudsley said Hutchinson were using as many local contractors as possible, including Hy-Tec who are supplying the more than 230 cu metres of concrete required in the project.<\/p>\n

“The plumbing is all local, too. Quite a few local businesses have benefited,” she said.<\/p>\n

The new building will house 200 Year 7 students from Kingaroy, Taabinga and Coolabunia State Schools and about 100 Year 8s.<\/p>\n

“Year 9s will also access it to some degree,” Mrs Maudsley said.<\/p>\n

“We will be bringing a small number of local primary school teachers across to teach in Junior Secondary but we will also be training a number of current KSHS staff to cater more specifically for junior secondary students.<\/p>\n

She said the building had also been designed to cater for possible flooding in the area.<\/p>\n

“There is a space underneath and the floor level is actually the same as the Sports auditorium. It is effectively flood-proof,” she said.<\/p>\n
