Mark Boothman MP Blog - August 2019 - Schools

Oxenford State School. About 2 acres will be burnt this afternoon at the far edges of the school. Burn is progressing well.

When the call was put out for a new BBQ for the school I was happy to be able to help out with the donation or a new BBQ. I look forward to helping out as the new BBQ is used for many school fundraisers in the future.

Don’t forget, Gaven State School car boot sale is on this morning from 6:30am till 9:30am, entry from Pinevale Drive. Please come down and support the school!

History and culture on show at today’s Helensvale State School NAIDOC Week Celebrations. It’s a proud and special moment for many students who contributed to today’s celebrations.

As promised at today’s Helensvale State School P&C meeting, I have passed on information discussed at the meeting regarding the current school fence. The school has a CCTV camera system that monitors the grounds and has highlighted the need for better fencing. In addition, the fence does need to be replaced due to its age. There are sections of the fence that desperately need some TLC. I will also place a question on notice about this matter at the next sitting of parliament.
