When Queensland schools return for term two on Monday, April 20, the majority of students will learn online for the first five weeks while only the children of essential workers and the vulnerable will attend in-classroom lessons.

“This decision provides mums and dads with the clarity they need ahead of the new school term. It also gives certainty for our hard-working teachers who will be continuing to deliver lessons in a way they might never have imagined,” said Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk at a press conference on April 13.
