Fifteen more schools have opened in northern queensland following the devastating floods, allowing most students in the area to now return to their studies.
Minister for communities Coralee O’Rouke has stated that having the schools cleaned and certified as safe to operate in short space of time is testament to the spirit, resilience and determination of the North.
This brings the total of reopened schools to fifty-five, with an emphasis placed on establishing a routine and a sense of normalcy for all impacted by the floods.
