For many families throughout rural and remote Australia, the education of their children at a local school is not an option, with many shires without a district high school or schools that educate students in years 11 and 12.
The decision to send their child to boarding school is a difficult one and not an easy decision for parents to make. ICPA has long campaigned for affordable access to an equitable education and the Student Accommodation portfolio encompasses that.
In 2024 the Student Accommodation Portfolio will focus on issues including:
- advocate for the provision of funding for students with a disability in boarding facilities.
ICPA (WA) is grateful for the generous support provided by the Australian Boarding Schools Association (ABSA).
This portfolio is led by Chandra Ridley and supported by Kym Ross.
