A NEW school for students disengaged from mainstream schooling in Bundaberg will be the first regional site of a successful Brisbane initiative.
Hinkler MP Keith Pitt has announced the YMCA Vocational School would be established in Kepnock thanks to a government grant.
“The Australian Government will provide $1,450,000 towards the project through the Capital Grants Program, which provides funding for non-government schools to improve capital infrastructure,” he said.
“Existing YMCA facilities in Quinn St, Kepnock, will be refurbished to provide a new staff workroom, office and meeting rooms, as well as flexible learning areas for students, a hospitality training room, other essential facilities such as a reception area and multipurpose hall.
