A pregnant teenager is allegedly behind a bomb hoax in Brisbane which saw 2000 students evacuated from school last Wednesday.
Amber Louise Daniels, 17, has been denied bail after Richland Magistrate's Court heard she told two of her co-accused she would pay them $20 if they made the call.
Prosecutor Andrea Donaghue opposed bail due to the serious nature of the hoax, which sparked the evacuation of the prep - Queensland's kindergarten equivalent - to Year 12 college.




'It was an extremely hot day, approximately 36C, 2000 students had to be evacuated,' she said.
The court heard while police searched the school for a bomb Ms Daniels and her three co-accused ate lunch at Hungry Jacks.
Daniels lawyer unsuccessfully argued their client should be granted bail because of her personal circumstances.
The teenager, who was due to begin year 12 this year, was recently told by a doctor that she was pregnant.



Magistrate Andrew Cridland said the case against her was strong as were the concerns she would commit further offences of released and denied the application.
The three others charged over the bomb hoax at Calamvale Community College also faced court on Monday.
Sanjay Jerome Christian Adolphus and Caleb Zane Lyons didn't apply for bail and were remanded in custody.




The fourth accused, Nathaniel Genge-Gibson, was already on bail and had his case adjourned.
All four are due to face court again on March 21.
It's unclear why the community college was targeted.
Police have said it was a copycat incident following numerous threats made to schools along Australia's east coast last week.
