​​​​Since 1995, the Queensland Department of Education has run a program of school constitutional conventions each year. The conventions educate senior secondary students about the Australian Constitution and how it guides our democracy. They involve students from all 3 sectors – state, Catholic and independent.

2023 Queensland Schools Constitutional Convention

The 2023 Queensland Schools Constitutional Convention investigated the constitutional issue—is section 128 still a necessary requirement to change such an important document as the Australian Constitution?

Students in Years 7–11 participated in the program via an online statewide convention held through Canvas, which was accessible by all state and non-state schools on Thursday 27 July; or via ​a face-to-face North Queensland convention for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students in Townsville on Thursday 3 August.
