AGISP Steering Committee Meeting

St. Columban's College Principal tour of Industry

2018 STEM Teacher Symposium

Earlier this month, Qantas Engineering put a call out for Expressions of Interest for an Aircraft Trimmer Apprenticeship. The response from our Gateway Schools was incredible. Qantas was kind enough to invite these students to attend a one day visit to Hangar 3 to get a better understanding of the job and what was all involved. St Columban’s College, Caboolture student, Bella Robers was one of those students, and the school's media students tagged along to film the opportunity. Thank you for sharing St. Columban's College. Great video!
