澳大利亚昆士兰州对布里斯班西部小学展开大规模校舍扩建计划,投资总额达5500万澳元[1]。英迪罗帕利州立学校将新增12间教室,投资额为3410万澳元,预计增加约250个学位[1]。托翁州立学校计划新增11间教室,耗资2000多万澳元,预计增加200个学位[1]。扩建完成后,三所小学的招生人数将从2月时的2560人增至超过3000人[1]。
两所学校的临时教室也将随之拆除,其中英迪罗帕利州立学校拆除4间,托翁州立学校拆除3间[1]。托翁州立学校的新校舍计划于2027年初完成[1]。然而,布里斯班西部高中未能获得同等投资支持,英迪罗帕利州立高中目前招生人数达2900人,已超过其容纳量的36%[1]。
Queensland authorities have allocated $55 million to expand primary school infrastructure in western Brisbane, addressing growing enrollment pressures in the region [1]. The funding will support construction projects at multiple schools, with Indooroopilly State School receiving $34.1 million for twelve additional classrooms expected to accommodate approximately 250 new students [1]. Toowong State School will benefit from over $20 million in investment to build eleven classrooms, projected to add 200 student places by early 2027 [1]. Combined, these expansions will increase capacity by up to 450 students across the primary schools, while temporary classroom facilities will be demolished [1].
The three primary schools in the catchment area currently enroll approximately 2,560 students as of February, with expansion bringing enrollment above 3,000 [1]. However, the investment in primary education contrasts sharply with secondary facilities in the area, where Indooroopilly State High School is operating at 36 percent above capacity with 2,900 enrolled students against a target of around 2,500 [1]. The high school has not received comparable funding allocations to address its overcrowding concerns [1].
