The department is planning for a new primary school to open in 2023 to relieve enrolment pressures at state schools in Brisbane's inner western suburbs.
The new primary school will provide long term enrolment capacity in the school network and enable the department to address the enrolment demand that is occurring in this area. It will ensure all families who wish to send their children to local state schools are able to do so.
The proposed school will provide general learning areas, specialist spaces, multimedia spaces, special education facilities and outdoor learning areas.
Community consultation
Community consultation will be undertaken on the location, proposed master plan for the school, school design and integration within the local schooling network.
The first stage of community consultation is underway and involves seeking feedback regarding the location for the new school. One possible location includes part of Indooroopilly State High School site.
Have your say online via the
New inner west state school survey. You can submit your feedback up until midnight on
Sunday 28 February 2021.
