New state high school for Logan Reserve

Following the appointment of the Foundation Principal in 2023, the new administration team will manage expressions of interest and enrolment applications. Parents and caregivers interested in enrolling children will be able to contact the new school through the school’s website or Facebook group once established.

Expressions of interest for enrolments will open following the appointment of the Foundation Principal in mid-2023.

Following the appointment of the Foundation Principals in mid-2023, employment opportunities will be advertised on the Queensland Government website.

Construction activities will be undertaken in accordance with Logan City Council regulations, which stipulate that construction begins no earlier than 6.30am and concludes no later than 6.30pm. If works are required outside of regulated construction hours, such as night works, the contractor will seek the necessary approvals and keep the local community informed. For more information on construction and noise regulations, please visit the official Logan City Council webpage.

Mitigation measures will vary between projects and be adopted by the contractor to reduce impacts during construction. Measures may include: scheduling works to avoid sensitive times, selecting appropriate machinery and equipment, installing noise and environmental impacts mitigation treatments, ongoing monitoring and providing advance notice to the neighbouring community.

It is important to recognise that the construction period is temporary and the delivery of new educational infrastructure provides a significant long-term benefit to the broader community.

The department has identified increased growth and primary and secondary student enrolment relief needed in Logan Reserve. The large population growth, the considerable number of additional primary and secondary students expected, and the projected capacity pressure at nearby schools all support the need for the new schools. The new schools will provide long-term enrolment capacity in the schooling network and enable the department to address the demand that is occurring in this area. The project is still in the planning phase with site investigations and potential land acquisition requirements still underway.

The catchment area for the new school will be confirmed during Term 3, 2023 and become available closer to the end of the year. When available, the new catchment can be found on EdMaps.

The department actively monitors enrolment growth across Queensland to ensure all children, no matter where they live, have access to quality educational facilities. When planning for new schools, the department considers capacity of the existing network, the ability to expand existing schools, growth in the local student population and land availability.
