Statement from Minister Grace 22 June

Minister for Education, Minister for Industrial Relations and Minister for Racing The Honourable Grace Grace

"Many state school students proudly represent their schools in a range of sports, and it's something I am very supportive of.

"Following reports that students were being told they could not compete under their school name at the upcoming Equestrian Queensland state championships, I asked my Department to look into this matter.

"As a result, I can confirm state school children can represent their schools at any upcoming Equestrian Queensland events. The Department has already contacted Equestrian Queensland, who will be letting families know directly today.

"I'm pleased that this issue has now been resolved."
