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.

    I believe an area more for them , to feel supported as you have local homes and schooling, can cause different perceptions and create more unease, for the youth that needs help and support, a seperate location not near other schools , i hope they have. a great support system fro these youth that need guidance understanding and love and the right help to heal trauma, let tafe stay for its positive eductaional area for other youth and people in the community that desreve to have access

    I think this is a good idea, but in the wrong location.

    Why dislodge existing tenants to temporary accommodation yet to be sourced in favour of another group of people.
