OAKLEIGH STATE SCHOOL

OAKLEIGH STATE SCHOOL

Brisbane, QLD

Oakleigh State School has a vision of innovation for its students, one central facet of which is the extra-curricular Young Innovator Program, which relies on the school’s partners in industry. Catering for 130 students each round, the program supports students to design, create and solve problems in an innovative fashion. Central to the initiation of this program was a community think-tank evening, to which the school invited the surrounding community, industry representatives and others to design strategies to answer the question of how young innovators of the future can best be supported.
