New Buildings for ISHS

Overcrowding at Indooroopilly State High School is out of control because the State Government continues to underfund our public schools. The government’s failure to plan properly has meant ISHS students have lost their science labs, student support rooms and play areas. And if it wasn’t for the P&C’s hard work and my advocacy, students would have lost their library too.

After years of campaigning, the local community has finally pushed the State Government into developing a masterplan for new buildings at ISHS, but it seems they’re kicking the can down the road until after the October state election. We need the Government to stop playing politics with our school and commit to fully funding the ISHS upgrades now!

Dear Minister Farmer,

Overcrowding at Indooroopilly State High School (ISHS) is out of control. Students have lost their support areas, science labs, play areas, and more.

*[INSERT YOUR PERSONAL PERSPECTIVE HERE: HOW DOES OVERCROWDING IMPACT YOU/YOUR FAMILY]*

The high enrollment numbers are not unexpected; the Department's own enrolment figures clearly predicted this population increase. ISHS has needed new buildings since 2020, when student numbers surpassed the maximum student enrolment capacity, and now our children are forced to face the consequences of your Government’s failure to plan for enrolment growth.

I understand that the Government is working on a masterplan for ISHS, but I’m worried that there’s no funding commitment yet, and time is running out before the State Election. 
I’m emailing to ask that you commit funding for all four stages of the Indooroopilly State High School Master Plan in the 2024/2025 State Budget and immediately progress the Ministerial Infrastructure Designation to the public consultation phase.

Our school desperately needs this essential infrastructure, and we can’t afford any further delays. I hope I’ll hear back from you regarding the timeline and funding commitment soon.
