Aviation State High School

This programme added elements to the curriculum at schools around the state, in order to give students an environment that was relevant to their careers in the aviation industry.

[9] B block is where the communications department has many rooms, with the exception of a Technology lab, and a Computer workshop, leased to the Rotary Club of Nundah.

A dedicated high-end computer room, where coding classes take place, and a recording studio, are also located in this block.

H block is where the Hospitality kitchens are located, as well as theory classrooms, and a cabin-crew training area, with actual seats from a Boeing 767 being used for realism.

The Canteen is a popular place at Aviation High, with fresh food is prepared by a school-hired chef.

[11] Aviation High is located in Brisbane on Widdop St, Hendra, Queensland on an approximately 9 hectares (90,000 m2) sized block.

The Toombul and Eagle Junction Railway Stations are only a few minutes walk away and the school has a bus stop outside, utilised by many students.

[citation needed] Extra-curricular activities offered by Aviation High are often utilised by not only students but also members of staff.

The UAV Challenge is held by Engineering Teacher Steve Wright and Aerospace (Aeroskills Technology) Head of Department Jack Clarke.

It is widely utilised with several teams fielded each year, and supported by companies such as Hobby King, which donated several components when the UAV program was decimated by floods in 2015.

However, the group is used primarily for experience in componentry by junior grades before gaining the necessary skills for the more advanced UAV program.

A new tour has recently been announced, taking students to the Western Front and other historical battlefields in Europe.

[15] Aviation High staff and students are at an advantage due to the close partnerships and relationships with aerospace industry partners, as well as direct-entry offers to courses at Griffith University and QUT, amongst others.
