There are 137 schools in the Wide Bay Regional QCPCA area. These range from one-teacher schools in isolated areas to large and expanding city schools on the coast.
The last change to Education Queensland's regional boundaries resulted in our region's schools being divided between EQ's North Coast, Central Queensland and Darling Downs-South West Regions. Most of our QCPCA region's schools are included in the EQ North Coast Region.
Our region extends from Agnes Water in the north to Gympie and Amamoor in the south and west to Durong South, Monogorilby and Monto. The QCPCA Wide Bay Region covers about 56000 square kilometers.
For this reason, regional conferences, meetings and workshops are held at a variety of sites to enable interested delegates to attend. With a trip time of about 3 hours from one side of the region to the other, it is at times difficult to coordinate and attract delegates to such meetings.
Twenty-four schools have special education units and staff from these units also service a cluster of schools when the need arises. There are 4 Special Schools.
One Environmental Education Centre operates in the region and has a P&C despite having no actual enrolled students.
In response to the recognised needs of their students, school communities have introduced award-winning instrumental music, dance, technology, work-readiness, marine and agricultural programs. The co-operation between school, P&C and community is invaluable in achieving the most beneficial results for students.
Wide Bay Regional Council has endeavoured to best meet the needs of its P&Cs by forming a management committee of 10 members, drawn from across the region. Due to distance, time and financial constraints, their main networking is via email and telephone. However, the management committee meets every 2 months and invites all P&Cs to send delegates to a conference in March and July.
Other workshops and visits to P&Cs are organised on request or to meet identified needs as they arise.
