School given $86,000 boost

Humpybong State School is to get $86,000 from the State Government for a new students’ bus shelter area.

It is one of 21 new projects at Queensland Schools funded by $2.3 million from the School Transport Infrastructure Program.

Kerri-Anne Dooley State Member for Redcliffe said: “I welcome this funding to ensure the safety of students who attend Humpybong State School is paramount."

Minister for Education John-Paul Langbroek said: “We want to do everything we can to help make our children as safe as possible when they are travelling to and from school.”

An additional 100 sites will also be selected this year for flashing school zone signs reminding motorists to slow down and lookout for children.

“Children are one of our most vulnerable road users and we will continue to work hard to support long-term solutions to school road safety issues across the State,” Minister for Transport and Main Roads Brent Mickelberg said.
