TO: The Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland

Queensland residents draws to the attention of the House to the lack of
air conditioning in schools across South West Queensland (for example the
St George State Primary School), and the effect this has on students,
teachers, learning outcomes and the fact that the Beattie State
Government has made no commitment to include these schools under a Cooler
Schools Program.

Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to immediately provide
funding for a School Air Conditioning Program (similar to the programs in
North Queensland), for schools such as the St George State Primary
School, who do not have air conditioning, and wish to participate in such
a program.
