Esk State School is finalist in comp
Esk State School was a finalist for the 2024 School of the Year title by River 94.9, having made it into the top four finalists of the competition.
Despite losing to Helidon State School, Esk State School wrote on Facebook it already felt like winners, no matter the outcome, thanks to the community support put behind the school to win the title.
“It is because of our wonderful community we have come in the top four of the competition, so thank you to each and every single one of you that make Esk such a great place to be,” they wrote.
“A small country school's success is deeply rooted to the community.
“Esk State School would not be the wonderful school it is without the incredible support of all of the local businesses and volunteers who consistently and compassionately donate their time, money, prizes and resources to help us thrive.”
Some of the school’s major sponsors include the Esk Grand Hotel, Esk Newsagency, Lions of Esk, Esk Community Op Shop, Brisbane Valley Meats, Esk IGA, Esk Fruit Shop, New Season’s Church Esk, Esk Mobil Roadhouse, Esk Show Society and Esk Bowls Club.
Dion Wengel from the Esk Newsagency called it a “privilege” to support the school in its endeavours for over 16 years.
“To witness the growth of past and present students becoming valued assets to our community is intrinsically rewarding,” Mr Wengel posted.
Congrats to Esk State School on being a finalist!
