The East Brisbane State School, a primary school for children aged five to 12, will be closed and moved down the road.
The decision comes after parents and students were “met with a brick wall of silence” during protests to keep the school open.
“There’s no rhyme or reason as to why this should be going ahead displacing a school community,” parent Haline Ly said.
“я╗┐People have been coming here for 123 years.”
The school and its students have three options to find a replacement campus.
One suggestion is opening a new primary school on the Cooparoo High School grounds 2km away, the other is creating a merged primary and high school with Cooparoo High.
The third option is reshuffling the 300 students to other schools in the area. я╗┐
“я╗┐It’s gonna be really sad I’m gonna lose all my friends and teachers,” one student told nine.
“я╗┐It will be heartbreaking.”
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the school will be relocated in 2026.
я╗┐Brisbane won the bid for the 2032 Summer Olympics and Paralympics in 2021. It will be the third Australian city to host the event, after я╗┐Melbourne in 1956 and Sydney in 2000.я╗┐
