School’s in for 2024!

In 2024, the school bell will ring for the very first time at Shoreline, as gates open to the new state primary school, situated on the corner of Scenic and Serpentine Creek Roads – a short stroll for our Shoreline families.

Paving the way for the future leaders of tomorrow, a new state primary school at Shoreline will officially open their gates for the 2024 school year!

The new state school is currently under construction directly across from Shoreline on the corner of Scenic and Serpentine Creek Roads, a vital step forward for the fast-growing area of Redland Bay and our Shoreline community.

Catering for Prep to Year 6 for Term 1, 2024, Stage 1 will include an administration building, prep and junior general learning areas, student support and staff building, information and resource centre, music building, multi-purpose hall, canteen, oval, multi-purpose court, general and student amenities and car parking. The services run out of the school by independent providers will include an Outside School Hours Care, Canteen and a Uniform Kiosk.

The Queensland Education Department has stated that the new school would increase capacity in the local schooling network and support the future growth of the region. It will also provide enrolment relief to Redland Bay State School, Victoria Point State School and Mount Cotton State School.

Get to know the school’s foundation principal, Sue Hendriks

Most recently, Sue has been the Acting Principal at Dalby South State School and Principal at Texas P-10 State School.

Sue is relishing the rare opportunity of becoming a foundation principal and is looking forward to working with the Redland Bay community to develop a safe and inclusive primary school.
