An automotive precinct; specialist robotics spaces; purpose-built studios for dance, drama and media; and a dedicated wellbeing centre—I'm not talking about a university campus; I'm talking about Bray Park State High School in my electorate of Dickson. Recently I visited Bray with the education minister, Jason Clare—the first time an education minister has visited a school in Dickson in over a decade. The minister and I saw firsthand what modern, future focused education looks like in my electorate.

There are nearly 2,000 students at Bray Park State High School, and my community loves their high school. From hands-on trades to cutting-edge technology and creative industries, students are gaining real-world skills in real-world environments. Just as importantly, the school recognises that learning doesn't happen in isolation. The new wellbeing centre ensures that students are supported both inside and outside of the classroom.

The Albanese Labor government is investing in our kids. We've increased funding by 25 per cent into our state schools over the next 10 years. That's $2.8 billion extra for Queensland state schools like Bray Park State High. This investment, coupled with our wonderful teachers and principals, will deliver into the future.
