QIS BGA Seminar Series
The seminar series is designed to inform Queensland independent schools about three key things:
- Capital funding opportunities.
- Initiatives being undertaken by QIS BGA enabling school leaders to contribute positively to the design, construction, and activation of capital projects.
- The current design and construction environment to assist schools in making decisions about future capital projects.
Who Can Attend
We welcome the following attendees:
- School representatives (Principals, Business Managers, Facility Managers, and Board members)
- Other professionals (Including Architects, Project Managers, Bankers, and Building industry consultants)
We strongly encourage you to attend if you are considering submitting a capital grant application for the 2026 funding round or have an active grant currently in place.
Seminar Locations
Our seminars are held in regional centres across Queensland. Host schools and dates are announced in mid-September each year.
Site Tours
At our seminars, we 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.
