City of Gold Coast education
City of Gold Coast provides information, support and visits to schools who want to include Council’s role, work and governance structure in the curriculum. We also run programs to engage and educate young people about Council, and to recognise the contribution that children and young people make to our community. Our current programs and services are:
Gold Coast Libraries: In-service support about the City’s library services is available for teachers, as are library orientation sessions for classes. Contact your library for details.
Junior Council: This two-year program aims to provide high school students with an understanding and experience of active citizenship and foster a sense of being connected with the community. See our YouTube video about the program.
