Senior Precinct opens new era for St John’s Kingaroy

A historic year for St John’s Lutheran School, Kingaroy, has been capped with the official unveiling of the school’s brand-new Secondary Precinct.

St John’s was able to offer a Prep to Year 12 education for the first time in 2024, with the state-of-the-art Precinct, built with the aid of an LLL Loan, helping to accommodate the school’s inaugural Year 12 class.

LLL Chief Relationship Officer Scott and Senior Operations Officer Olivia were delighted to attend the Recognition Ceremony & Blessing for the cutting-edge, two-level building.

“As we have now completed the additional year levels and expanded to become a full Prep to Year 12 school, LLL’s support must be acknowledged,” Principal Karyn Bjelke-Petersen said.

“LLL has assisted us by providing the funds to provide an outstanding educational facility for the South Burnett region.

“LLL supports the mission of the Church, in particular Lutheran Schools, and their provisions have enabled us to build this facility that will take us into the future.”

The impressive new Secondary Precinct at St John’s Lutheran School, Kingaroy, was built with the aid of an LLL Loan.

St John’s has been providing a Christian education in the South Burnett, a region about a two-and-a-half-hour drive inland from the Sunshine Coast, since it opened as a Primary School with 26 students and two teachers in 1989.

Responding to demand in the region, St John’s began expanding into Senior Secondary education in 2022, culminating in this year’s proud milestone, with two well-worn multi-sport courts transformed by the construction project that began in June, 2023.

“The new Senior Secondary building, ‘S Block’, now provides us with two designated state-of-the-art Science labs suitable to deliver all strands of Sciences, including Biology, Physics and Chemistry,” Principal Karyn said.

“There are five GLAs (General Learning areas) and multiple breakout, flexible rooms which can be used for small groups or individual students who are studying via various external providers or pathway subjects.”
