Queensland residents draws to the attention of the House that Education Queensland has advised Toowong State School that: • the new Preparatory Year building will be located on the top oval at the St Osyth Street campus; • the part of the Kate Street campus containing the existing pre-school will be sold. Toowong State School is a small inner-city school, with a rich history and high heritage values which is located on two campuses with limited available space. The school community supports locating the Preparatory Year facility on the St Osyth Street campus, proximate to other children in the early years of their education. Further, the school community supports the establishment of a facility which recognises the school’s heritage value. The petitioners request: 1. The Preparatory Year building not be located on the top oval as this would significantly reduce the limited existing playspace for students. 2. The Preschool not be excised from the bottom campus and then sold, but retained as an integral part of this campus of the school. This recognises that the preschool is not in fact a stand alone facility, and further, the space will be gainfully utilised by the school which has limited available space. 3. A different siting for the Preparatory Year Building be agreed between Toowong State School, Education Queensland the school’s P&C, noting that the school community is prepared to contribute to reaching an appropriate solution which takes account of the limited playspace available and the recognised heritage values of the school.
