Roma State College has signed a three year partnership with Origin Energy aiming to improve academic achievement, career aspirations and employability to encourage future employees to remain living and working in the Maranoa.
Developed through a consultation process with staff from each campus, Origin employees will support and help co-ordinate the delivery of over 40 initiatives, creating a sustainable school and business partnership.
Origin Energy believe the partnership will assist the college in driving diverse educational growth in the Maranoa to help improve education outcomes for students.
Infrastructure improvements, professional development, improved technology, sporting equipment, pathways for employment programs, various in-kind support including mentoring and volunteering opportunities for students, are just a few of the initiatives included.
Roma State College Principal, Guy Hendriks said he’s very excited about the partnership.
