Loganlea State High operates a working property which enables learning opportunities in animal husbandry and farming.[1] In recent years, students partaking in the agribusiness program have been able to spend time on a remote property in Central Queensland in order to gain practical skills as well as a sense of independence.[2]
The school opened Knowledge House in 2006. Its purpose is to establish a more Indigenous-friendly curriculum. Knowledge House is a safe space, an Indigenous cultural experience, achieving results in urban areas for jarjums and community. 'Jarjums' is an Aboriginal word for students. The school has facilities such as a dance studio, trade training center, kitchens, 4 science labs and a variety of different classrooms. The school also offers a wellbeing hub.
