Curtains for Wellcamp COVID facility
The Queensland Government will not renew the lease of the Wellcamp quarantine facility when it expires next month.
The 1000-bed facility opened early last year to house those with COVID-19 who needed to quarantine.

It cost the State Government more than $220 million to set up, but only housed 730 people.
Health Minister Yvette D’Ath defended the government’s decision to build the quarantine facility.
“Wellcamp is a really important facility that we needed to commit to,” she said.
“The Commonwealth at the time did nothing to help us with quarantining people who were at risk of having COVID.
“We did what we needed to do.”
Queensland Opposition leader David Crisafulli said the facility was designed primarily for the purposes of upstaging the then Federal Government.
“From the very get go Wellcamp was about politics, not about people.”
Ergon of any changes at their property,” Ms Kernick said.
“Information provided by customers helps us make an assessment on whether it is safe to enter a property, so it’s important that these details are accurate.
“Safety is everyone’s business and we appreciate the community’s support.”

Wyreema State School
Grade 2 Science
In Grade 2 Science, we are learning that living things grow, change and have offspring similar to themselves.
The class is investigating the growth of a mealworm under different temperature conditions.
One group of mealworms is kept at room temperature and the other group is being kept a cooler temperature in a refrigerator. We are observing and comparing the difference in how they grow and change.
Issac: They will change from a worm into a beetle. A darkling beetle. Jethro: They are changing. We really like them.
Tinku: Can we hold them again tomorrow?
We are also comparing similarities and differences of the features of different species from when they were a baby to now. Thanks for sharing your baby photos Year 2 families!
The students will produce a visual representation of the life stages of mealworms as their assessment for the unit of work.
