“From agricultural innovation to construction and engineering, the AIC is dedicated to fostering a new generation of skilled professionals.”
The Agriculture and Industry Centre (AIC) is set to transform our educational offerings.
The AIC will integrate future-focused and industry-centric subjects, emphasising Agricultural Science, Environment, Technology, Engineering and vocational pathways. This initiative will be supported by state-of-the-art research spaces, modern laboratories, and collaboration with industry, ensuring our students are adept at tackling real-world challenges.
The AIC Masterplan envisions producing quality graduates ready to excel in their careers while achieving lifelong wellbeing. This will be achieved through meaningful engagement in a range of opportunities and career paths facilitated by our cutting-edge facilities. Following the construction of the DET Centre, the AIC will offer hands-on learning spaces, including:
- An outdoor Agricultural Science lab, featuring flexible gardens and greenhouse horticulture.
- Four internal areas for the teaching of Agricultural Science and Agribusiness:
- two general learning areas, one of which is convertible to a function space
- a Food Tech Lab with an adjoining Food Prep Room
- a Wet Agriculture Lab with an adjoining Prep Room
- Three metal workshops for various small to large-scale projects
- A Building and Construction zone, equipped with industry-standard tools and machinery
These facilities aim to prepare students for both traditional and emerging career paths, allowing them to:
- Operate industry-approved machinery.
- Engage in large-scale projects.
- Learn modern farming and horticulture techniques.
- Experience garden-to-plate learning.
The AIC’s comprehensive approach ensures that students gain practical skills and knowledge, readying them for successful futures in a rapidly evolving job market.
