The call for volunteers to turn their attention to schools followed an unprecedented show of community support in South-East Queensland over the weekend when tens of thousands of volunteers turned up in forced to assist in the clean-up following the devastating floods that ripped through the State.
Mr Wilson, Adcock and Bartlett met up with an army of volunteers at Milpera State School in Chelmer which is just one of the many education facilities that has been devastated as a result of the Queensland flood disaster.
And with just one week remaining before a new school year begins, the race to clean-up is well and truly on.
"I was thrilled to receive a call from the Brisbane Lions offering some serious man-power from players to help clean up our schools this week," Mr Wilson said.
"It's community spirit such as this which is making all the difference."
Lions players will this week take time out of their schedule to again volunteer themselves for clean-up duties.
"It's been fantastic to see the amount of support from the community over the past couple of days, but the job's not done yet," Adcock said.
"The Club will be sure to allocate time to spend at different schools this week in between our training schedule and we'll continue to visit these schools once the clean-up is finished to hopefully boost the morale of those kids affected."
Mr Wilson said daily assessments were still being carried out to determine the extent of the damage at each of the affected schools.
"We are working around the clock to get as many state schools as possible open by Monday 24 January, but safety remains our number one priority," Mr Wilson said.
Anyone wishing to help with the schools clean-up is asked to register with Volunteering Queensland.
