Julia Gillard a high flyer!
As part of a $2.5 billion program to teach trades skills in high schools around Australia, the (then) Minister for Education and Deputy Prime Minister, Ms Julia Gillard, Queensland Minister for Education and Training, Geoff Wilson, and Member for Brisbane, Arch Bevis, officially opened the new Trade Training Centre at Aviation High in Brisbane.
The centrepiece is a brand new wind tunnel, TecQuipment's model AF41,supplied by Duff and Macintosh Pty Ltd.
Shown in the photo is Aviation High School Captain Chris Rowe taking both Deputy Prime Minister Julia Gillard and Federal Member for Brisbane Arch Bevis through the operation of the new wind tunnel in the new Trades Training Centre.
The centre is already teaching more than 380 students across Queensland in a range of aviation-related qualifications, including aircraft maintenance engineering using world-class equipment including the wind tunnel and flight simulator.
Ms Gillard said Aviation High School received $1.5 million to construct a new state-of-the-art aeroskills workshop in the first round of the government's 10 year Trade Training Centres program, which will see every high school in Australia eligible for grants between $500,000 and $1.5 million.
