Corinda State High School offers a unique selection of agricultural learning opportunities for students who are passionate about discovering the world of sustainable agriculture.
With a fully operational Smart Farm led by our Agricultural Manager and assistant, Corinda can offer learning experiences that have not been previously available in schools. We are proud be able to give our students unique experiences to give them a head start towards their future careers.
Our Agricultural Science studies allows students to actively engage in their agricultural pursuits, including handling of many of our animals including cattle, chickens, goats, sheep, and alpacas. Our students are also given the opportunity to practice beekeeping and harvesting of honey. Our students have also planted a full market garden which they maintain and harvest. This produce is used by our Hospitality students and also sold to our school staff and community, with all funds being filtered directly back into our school farm projects.
As part of a 6-day camp, all students have the opportunity to show sheep, alpacas and chickens at the Royal Brisbane Exhibition (the Ekka). Our Agricultural Science teaching team are well trained and highly-knowledgeable to give our students the best learning outcomes.
Our school has a partnership with the Oxley Common which gives our Agriculture program room to grow beyond our fields. Our students are invited to an annual camp at the Oxley Common which gives them the chance to fully immerse themselves in and experience our wide range of agricultural science.
Murray Watt, Senator for Queensland, Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and Minister for Energy Management and Federal Member for Moreton Graham Perrett MP visited Corinda on 4 November 2022 to learn about AgTech innovation at our Smart Farm.
