A NEW state primary school will be built in Caloundra South, with funding secured in the upcoming State Budget to support the region’s rapid population growth.
The school, expected to accommodate around 1,140 students from Prep to Year 6, is scheduled to open in Term 1, 2028, within the Caloundra South Priority Development Area.
Local MP Kendall Morton said the project would benefit families across the Sunshine Coast. “The new Caloundra South state school will benefit local families and build a brighter future for the next generation of students in this fast-growing area,” she said.
Treasurer David Janetzki said the investment forms part of a broader commitment to delivering core services to fast-growing communities. “This is one of Queensland’s fastest growing regions and we have a responsibility to provide the core services and facilities, such as schools,” he said.
Education Minister John-Paul Langbroek said the new facility would support stronger learning outcomes for students.
