Member for Nanango, Deb Frecklington says enough is enough and it is time for Kilcoy SHS to get a proper School Hall.

Mrs Frecklington says she has written* to the Minister for Education to formally request funding to fully enclose and complete the Kilcoy SHS Hall.

“We need the Minister for Education to recognise that Kilcoy State High School can’t wait any longer and deserves a proper funding commitment for a new School Hall,” she said.

“I have been working with Principal, Chris Dench regarding the need for this project for some time,” Mrs Frecklington said.

“While the School has the covered outdoor learning area, it isn’t suitable for important ceremonies and events and there are no other halls in the Kilcoy region with the necessary seating capacity.

“The Kilcoy SHS P&C have also written to me about this issue and I determined to see this project come to fruition.

“We also know that there is a predicted growth in student numbers at Kilcoy SHS over the next five years and it seems unacceptable that a high school of this size doesn’t have an enclosed, school hall with seating and modern facilities.

“I am calling on the Minister for Education and this city-centric Labor Government to acknowledge our great regional schools, like Kilcoy State High School, and make the School Hall project a reality,” Deb said.
