Plenary Group Chief Operating Officer Glenn Hay said he was particularly pleased with the way all of the consortium parties had worked with the State to achieve what is a high quality outcome for the local community.

“With each new school delivered, Plenary Schools continues to improve the educational facilities and opportunities for South East Queensland,” Glenn said. 

Mr Hay said the school is expected to grow in enrolments year on year as these new communities grow.
