Maroochydore State High, Graceville State School in asbestos scares Concerned parent Kristina Mills with son Zac, 13, who may have been exposed to asbestos with a fellow classmate at Maroochydore State High School. TWO students and a teacher have been exposed to suspected asbestos dust in a classroom incident at a Sunshine Coast school. The Year 8 boys were helping the teacher lower an overhead projector screen at Maroochydore State High School when a bracket holding it pulled away from the wall yesterday morning. Brisbane school's second alert in a month Queensland school asbestos sites top 125,000 The incident came as it was revealed parts of the grounds at Graceville State School in Brisbane's southwest had been restricted to allow for repairs and further testing. A meeting at the school heard asbestos was first discovered by a contractor in May, but not reported to Education Queensland until this month. Maroochydore parent Kristina Mills, whose son Zac was one of the 13-year-olds, said all three were exposed to powder that came from six screw holes. "In a school that potentially has this sort of problem, students should not be asked to do anything that might put them at risk," she said. I'm really angry. Education Queensland confirmed an investigation has been launched and dust samples have been sent for testing to see if they contain potentially-dangerous asbestos. Ms Mills said the principal rang her after the incident during a Studies of Society and Environment lesson at Maroochydore State High School. Zac was told to immediately have a shower and the school gave him a new uniform and threw out his shoes. They said they would reimburse us for these and also any medical costs if we wanted to go to the doctor," she said. EQ regional director for the north coast Greg Peach said Maroochydore State High School had arranged urgent testing of a small amount of material from a classroom wall to determine if it contained asbestos. The school acted immediately to safeguard their welfare by enacting its asbestos management guidelines. The Courier-Mail revealed last week there were now more than 125,000 entries of confirmed and assumed asbestos sites in state schools logged on an Education Queensland register. But Education Minister John-Paul Langbroek yesterday told the ABC the State Government was unlikely to get rid of all asbestos from schools because it would cost billions of dollars.
