Well done Pheebe and thank you to PCYC for offering such a great program.

🚗🎉 Pheebe is officially a P plater!! 🎉🚗

Pheebe is a boarding student at Dalby State High School. Boarding students face the challenge of not having access to a car during the school term. BTC has worked with many boarding students over the years to help them reach 100 hours.

Well done, amazing Pheebe!!! 🌟👏

Jumping into the holidays!

Bunya Campus boarders have had a great start to the 2024 horse riding program with 22 students participating across the weeks. Some ride very regularly and some ride when their schedules allow for horse riding time. Here is a snapshot of some of the sessions.

The campus welcomed a new horse this year as well named V***n. Mim York, our instructor has helped develop student’s flat work, jumping, polo crosse, camp drafting and other related passions. Thanks to Dani Strachan for always being there to support Mim, students and Bunya Campus with “all things horse related”. We look forward to Term 2.

Dalby SHS Boarding - Bunya Campus is so excited to have supported Lilly’s application to be part of this amazing project. She Won!!!
We have one very excited boarder and we can not wait to follow her journey as she gets to know her brumby.

A number of the boarders had a great trip to the Bunya Mountains on the weekend enjoying a walk and escaping the heat for a few hours.

We also have two cute poddy calves; Tulip and Laura that the boarders are helping to look after on weekends and some afternoons.

To our Bunya families, we will advise new date once it has been finalised.

As a result of the significant rainfall overnight, many students have been unable to travel to school today. Given this, and the possibility of more rain later today, we have made the decision to postpone this evening's 2024 Investiture & Year 12 Academic Prize Ceremony. We apologize for any inconvenience this decision has caused. We will announce a rescheduled date and time as soon as possible.

We are very happy to communicate that Arrow Energy has continued their generous sponsorship of 10 x $5000 Agricultural Scholarships for Bunya Campus students. All boarding families have been emailed an application form. Forms are also available on the Dalby SHS website.
Applications are due Monday 5th February. Please consider applying if your child is studying or involved in an Agricultural pathway.
Any questions, please contact the Bunya Campus office.
