Queensland students head back to school, with COVID-safe measures in place for visiting parents
Queensland parents and students will begin day one of the new school year this morning — less than three weeks after Greater Brisbane was plunged into a snap three-day lockdown.

- All COVID-safe measures must be followed at all times, including social distancing
