"That ICPA Qld lobbies the Department of Education to enable students who have attended a band 5-7 P-10 State School to complete Years 11-12 at that venue whilst studying via a School of Distance Education."
Tambo State School offers Prep to Year 10. When students graduate Year 10 and wish to continue their studies, they have the option to attend boarding school or enrol in Distance Education for Years 11 and 12. After years of school routines and structure, peers to work with, and full access to teachers, the students who enrol in Distance Education often find this new way of learning very challenging and as a result cease their education journey or under perform. In some situations, these students also find themselves at home alone all day while their parents are at work. Students in these situations would benefit from a safe and supportive network in a school environment.
