QIS BGA Seminar Series

The seminar series is designed to inform Queensland independent schools about three key things:

  1. Capital funding opportunities.
  2. Initiatives being undertaken by QIS BGA enabling school leaders to contribute positively to the design, construction, and activation of capital projects. 
  3. The current design and construction environment to assist schools in making decisions about future capital projects.

At our seminars, we strive to include a site tour of the host school, featuring recent builds or renovations completed with the assistance of QIS BGA funding. This feature allows attendees to see firsthand the impact of the grants and gain insights into the application process.
