Subscriber only A petition demanding that all beach driving in Queensland be limited to driver with an Open licence has attracted 1811 signatures since it was launched five months ago. The petition was started by Simon McDonald, who got fed up with dangerous P-plater behaviour on the beach last year, but has failed to reach its target of 2500 signatures. Another serious accident involving P-Platers at Teewah over the weekend has reignited the debate on Facebook. Two teenagers had to be airlifted following the weekend crash. The petition says P-platers are ruining the privilege of driving on the beach for everyone, and only drivers with an Open licence should be allowed to do it.
- Tin Can Bay School P-10 Tin Can Bay School
In my personal opinion, Tin Can Bay has been the best fit for my son and his grades have improved consistently since he started there.
In saying that, I also offer an unbiased opinion when looking at the school at a whole. I do not believe it is anything the school has done wrong. Tin Can Bay, Cooloola Cove and Rainbow Beach have traditionally been low socio economic areas, with lack of access to basic services, including good medical facilities and more.
Bullying has been a problem for the school, but no more than other schools my son has attended, the problem is, due to the small population of our region, it‘s sometimes hard for the kids to avoid their bullies outside of school hours. For example, there are only two parks in Cooloola Cove.
