The students and staff of Rockhampton’s Kingsley College joined in a rousing chorus of ‘Lord I Lift Your Name on High’ before officials unveiled the plaques and cut the ribbon on the campus’ latest learning centres.

The new area comprises two projects, a science laboratory and a flexible learning area which will be used for drama and music lessons.

Barry O’Rourke MP did the honours on behalf of the State Government which contributed about $1.2 million to the $2 million bill.

Principal Michael Appleton expressed his gratitude to private donors who funded the remainder.
