What’s happening?
The Crisafulli Government has approved $12.24 million in grants for capital works at non‑state schools across Queensland. The funding will help schools build new facilities and improve existing infrastructure such as classrooms, bus set‑down areas, footpaths, and access roads.
Why it matters
Minister for Education John‑Paul Langbroek said the support shows the government’s commitment to quality education. “All Queensland school students deserve a world‑class education system and the Crisafulli Government is proud of this funding announcement,” he said. “Delivering world‑class educational facilities for Queensland kids right across the state in state and non‑state schools is a huge priority for us and we are committed to that.”
