Queensland schools will open for term two for vulnerable students and the children of essential workers, Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk says.
"This will take place until halfway through term two and then we will review it once again," Ms Palaszczuk said. "Just as I can't predict what's happening in the next week or two, we don't know what's happening by the end of May." "The Department of Education's learning from home website provides a fantastic range of learning materials for parents as well," she said."We know it's not going to be easy," she said.
