DESPITE persistent wet weather, a new $68.6 million primary school at Yarrabilba is on track to open January 2023.
Stage One of the school’s construction has about 190 tradies on-site, and will include an administration building, prep and junior learning spaces, a resource centre, multi-purpose hall, canteen, car parking, amenities and an oval.
“Yarrabilba’s newest state school will increase the capacity of the local schooling network and provide enrolment relief to Yarrabilba State School, Logan Village State School and Cedar Creek State School,” education minister Grace Grace said.
Foundation principal for the new primary school in Logan, Mr Aaron Jones, attended state schools in the Logan area as a student and has been a principal since 2013.
“It is exciting to see the work that’s underway on the brand new school for Yarrabilba,” Mr Jones said.
“I know that the local community can’t wait for this wonderful new facility to open and I am really looking forward to working with all the local parents and carers preparing for next year’s opening.”
Member for Logan Linus Power said it was the third school built in the master-planned Yarrabilba community since 2015.
“I am proud that we are making sure we’re building the facilities for our kids to learn in to secure a better future,” Mr Power said.
“In 2018, we opened the $45 million Yarrabilba State School, and this year we invested an additional $14.5 million at the school to deliver a brand new two-storey learning building.”
