Save Yeppoon TAFE – Stop the Secret Plan

PETITION TO THE QUEENSLAND STATE PARLIAMENT

Save Yeppoon TAFE – Stop the Secret Plan

To the Honourable Speaker and Members of the Queensland Legislative Assembly,

We, the undersigned residents of Queensland, oppose the proposed conversion of the Yeppoon TAFE site into an Aboriginal school for troubled and disengaged youth.

The decision has been made without proper community consultation, and the approval of the Queensland Government is still required.

We believe the Yeppoon TAFE site, located beside the Yeppoon High School on Tabone Street, is not an appropriate location for this initiative. A more suitable alternative should be considered in consultation with the community.

    We don’t need the Council bringing more trouble to town, we already have enough.

    Plenty of places around that they can do this, PCYC etc, so why take away a building that is used already by the community and drive those people away?

    Why not make them attend school and have these “teachers” come in and teach them in a classroom, why should they be given special treatment above others.

    This is sure to increase the crime rates and is NOT what we need to be funding.
