Taabinga State School granted $10,000 to preserve Maranoa wartime history
October 28, 2020The Taabinga State School will receive $10,000 to preserve Maranoa’s wartime heritage through the Federal Government’s Saluting Their Service Commemorative Grants Program, Maranoa MP David Littleproud announced today.
Mr Littleproud said the funding would ensure the people of Maranoa continued to remember and understand the sacrifice made by Australian service men and women during wartime, particularly the next generation.
“This round of grants saw funding provided to the Taabinga State School to upgrade the existing memorial on the school grounds and restore the monument,” Mr Littleproud said.
“Maranoa has a proud military history and I congratulate the Taabinga State School for their work in honouring those who have served our country in the Navy, Army and Air Force.
“This project is especially important for its role in teaching the next generation about the crucial role of our service personnel and recognising their courage and sacrifice in serving our nation.”
This year has been challenging for the local community with the impacts of coronavirus being felt across the region, and of course these impacts may present new challenges for grant recipients.
The Department of Veterans’ Affairs is working with impacted grant recipients to ensure that they can go ahead with their project, such as getting an extension or looking into alternative options.
