Wellness centre pledge Hunt has announced a CALOUNDRA MP Jason Upgrade vow $300,000 investment to build a Wellness Centre at Beerwah State High School, contingent on his re-election this month.
The school’s P&C and Principal Lyn McDonald have long been advocating for a centre to support students’ health and mental well-being. The centre will assist students dealing with social and emotional challenges, helping them cope with everyday stress, work productively, and develop resilience.
The Wellness Centre will be professionally staffed, providing a supportive environment that caters to the psychological, social, physical, and cognitive needs of students. The investment builds on the funding previously allocated to the school by the Miles Labor Government, which recently delivered an upgraded industrial design and tech building.
Across the Sunshine Coast, Labor has invested more than $800 million in the maintenance and construction of new and improved school infrastructure. “I am so proud to make this commitment,” Jason Hunt said.
“Beerwah SHS is an incredible community, and they deserve top-notch facilities. This will be the school’s first Wellness Centre since its opening in the 1960s—something future generations will benefit from.
“Only Labor is investing in the future, ensuring our kids get the best start in life.
