QCPCA

The Premier has announced 5 more pilot schools to join Murrumba State Secondary College in trialling Year 7 in high school before 2015.

With up to 20 schools to be involved in the pilot process, there were 59 applications from interested state high schools.

QCPCA have been invited onto regional and state level consultation groups and are working closely with the government and other stakeholders to ensure P&Cs are part of the reform.

The five schools to take part in the pilot program are:

• Springfield Central State High School, Ipswich
• Varsity State College, Gold Coast
• Crows Nest State School, Darling Downs
• Glenmore High School, Rockhampton
• The new high school planned at Eimeo Road, Mackay

The other pilot Year 7 high schools are expected to be finalised after the September school holidays, with most pilot schools expected to take Year 7 from 2013.
