Calling families with boarding school experience.

The Boarding School Collective’s Australian Rural & Remote Boarding School Family Survey is approaching 400 responses, with a goal of reaching 1,000 families from across rural and remote Australia.

For families in the, accessing secondary education can mean significant travel, cost, time away from home and a range of challenges that are not always well understood.

This survey is an opportunity to make sure the experiences of families from our region are included in the national picture.

The findings will be presented at the Daily Telegraph National Bush Summit later this month, helping ensure future conversations are informed by the experiences of families who actually navigate boarding school.

If your family has experience with the boarding school journey, please take a few minutes to complete the survey.

Please also share with other pastoral, rural and remote families who may be able to contribute.

The ICPA- Midwest Branch team hit the streets of Chapman Valley on Saturday at Backroads Gravel to make sure all the riders were not just hydrated but kept full of yummy treats. It was a wintery day but nothing was holding back this lot of adventurers. The wind did do it's best to ruin the girls day but you can't stop country gals.
We would like to say a massive thank you to all those that donated baked goods for our stall. We had just the right amount and the riders were stoked!
