I would like to thank Chloe Coombe from the Cathedral College, Rockhampton for her report on discussions at the Ministerial Student Advisory Council meeting on 21 August.

Chloe was selected as the representative for Catholic schools earlier this year and is one of 16 students across the state who had the opportunity to share with the Minister for Education perspectives on important education matters.

As Chloe’s report outlines, the students found pros and cons in learning from home. Of note was their increased appreciation for the role of their teachers. They have also suggested some ways in which schools might better prepare for disruptions of this sort in the future.

Catholic School Authorities are encouraged to share Chloe’s report from the meeting with their school communities.
