AN Ipswich secondary school building has this week been recognised as one of the best designed academic facilities in the state.
‘Kurrajong’, which is the Centre of Senior Learning at The Springfield Anglican College, received the evening’s highest honour at the Australian Institute of Architects’ Regional Architecture Awards.
It was awarded The William Hogden ‘Building of the Year’ under the Darling Downs and West Moreton region category.
The facility, designed by Fulton Trotter Architects, also received a commendation for its state-of-the-art design.
Director Paul Sekava said the facility was purpose-designed to help assist senior students with the transition from high school to university.
And it is not over yet, with Short swimming in the 1500m and a white hot field assembled for the 100m freestyle sprint. Hold onto your hats for that one. But for now, we recognise our top 10 performers, the Best of the Rest and try and mention all other Queenslanders who snared podium finishers.

ELIZABETH DEKKERS The All Hallows School student from Newmarket Racers edged closer to the Tokyo Olympics with a stunning 16 years 200m butterfly effort of 2.07.82, breaking her own Australian record in the 16 years age group as well as an Australian All comers record. That time would place her on the cusp of Olympic Games selection if she repeats at either the Australian titles or the Olympic trials. Last night she also won the 100m butterfly and was third in the 200m IM.
