New language centre at Warwick State High School

Senator John Hogg last Thursday attended the official opening of the new language centre at Warwick State High School, built as part of the Australian Government’s Building the Education Revolution (BER).
Warwick State High School received $2,170,000 under the National School Pride (NSP) program and Science and Language Centres for 21st Century Secondary Schools (SLC) element of the BER.
The BER is a key element of the Australian Government’s $42 billion Nation Building – Economic Stimulus Plan to support jobs, stimulate local economies and invest in important infrastructure for the long term.
Senator Hogg congratulated Warwick State High School on their new facilities and spoke of the benefit to both the school and local community.
“We have now reached the next exciting phase in Building the Education Revolution,” Senator Hogg said.
“It has been fantastic to see the principal, school staff, parents and tradespeople working together to deliver these important projects. Now that they are completed, teachers and students in our local schools will be teaching and learning in 21st century facilities that they so richly deserve.
“It is tremendous to be here today to celebrate the opening of the new language centre and to witness, first-hand, the impact this has had on Warwick State High School and the local community.
“I am also delighted to announce that this particular project has supported the employment of many workers from the building industry. This is what we strived to achieve – this is the essence of the Economic Stimulus Plan,” Senator Hogg said.
