Boarding Schools / Hostels / Non-State Schools
Motion:
“That ICPA Qld lobbies the Queensland Government to align Queensland with other states in Australia with the provision of State-Run Immersive Agricultural High Schools with boarding facilities.”
Explanation:
As reported by interstate ICPA Councils, schools such as Yanco and Farrer (NSW), and the Western Australian College of Agriculture (WA), are at capacity and/or oversubscribed in NSW and WA. Results in the NSW models show evidence of academic achievements reflective of the relevance of the dedicated curriculum. As one of the three pillars of industry in Queensland the need for a dedicated and immersive Agricultural High School with boarding facilities is long-overdue.
