Kate lives on a cattle property 70 km south of Inverell in NSW. Before moving to this address 3 years ago, Kate and her husband Mark and three daughters lived on a property 80km from Winton. The 3 girls experienced their primary schooling through Longreach School of Distance Education and then attended boarding school in Townsville.
Kate became a member of Winton Branch sixteen years ago and has held the role of Publicity Officer and Branch Secretary. Kate was also part of the Convening Committee for the 2018 State Conference held in Winton. It was at this conference she joined State Council. Kate has been the Portfolio Leader of Distance Education, Communications and now Financial Assistance during this time.
Kate first attended State Conference in Charters Towers in 2010 and was impressed with the passion, knowledge, and dedication of the ICPA members. She has attended many conferences since and is still in admiration of all that ICPA stands for and has achieved over the years. Kate believes education is the best gift you can give your kids. Bush children deserve every opportunity to access an education that is equivalent to what their urban counterparts receive.
