Student scales building, plunges Caboolture school into lockdown

A state school north of Brisbane was plunged into lockdown after a student scaled the roof of a building.

A Queensland state school was sent into lockdown for over an hour after a student climbed a roof.

It’s understood Caboolture State School was plunged into lock down around 2.30pm and lasted for over an hour, after a student gained access to the roof of the administration building on Wednesday.

A Department of Education spokesman said the school when into a brief precautionary lockdown yesterday.

“During a behaviour incident in which a student climbed onto the roof of the administration building,” a spokesman said.

“Counselling and support is in place for all students and staff who require it.

“No further details can be provided due to student privacy.

“The school continues to work diligently to promote safe and respectful interactions between students and a safe learning environment for everyone in the school community.”

In January, The Courier-Mail revealed the Department of Education’s school opinion survey, in which 78.4 per cent of Caboolture State School staff agreed that student behaviour was well managed at their school.

The 2023 School Opinion Survey results also found more than a third of Queensland schoolchildren and over a quarter of staff believed their school did not manage behaviour well.
