Aerospace Program

Great heights have been reached this year in Aerospace at St Columban’s College Caboolture. With the recent delivery of a 1963 Beach Craft Musketeer aircraft and the established partnerships with leading industry players QANTAS, Airbus, Aviation Australia and QG Air the College is well underway for delivering an authentic enriched Aerospace program and Aerospace Faculty in 2020.

The delivery of the Beechcraft Musketeer is in time for the launch of the newly established StC Aero Club, which will see students having access to industry experts in the field of engineering, maintenance and aircraft building and design. Every two weeks students will be working on restoring the newly purchased aircraft. The College is most fortunate to have established connections within industry, this will form a group of expert mentors including a Licence Aircraft Maintenance Engineer from QANTAS, Airbus A380 Captain and a QANTAS Pilot, all which are willing to donate their time and expertise on a fortnightly bases. It is envisaged these mentors will also act as career mentors for the Aviation minded students at St Columban’s College. 

Across the College throughout the year, St Columban’s College has had an abundance of student industry immersion activities, ranging from an Aerospace Industry speaker evening, facility back of house visits to Aviation Australia, GE Aviation and QANTAS Hanger 3. The College regularly hosts incursions from Industry, including the RAAF, Sim Jet, Boeing and QANTAS, these visits have allowed students to experience the latest Virtual Reality equipment used in industry to train Pilots as well the best flight simulators available.
