A school in the Moreton Bay region is offering aviation studies as an Australian first.

Caboolture’s “St Columban’s College” offers aviation education with an aero club based on campus, offering students the opportunity to learn from aviation specialists.

Principal Michael Connolly said “When we talk about upskilling the next generation and bringing real industry experience to students – it doesn’t get much more real than this,”

They are set to build an aircraft which will be sold, with the proceeds being used to purchase another aircraft kit for the next generation of students.
