The closure of Allison House, a high school student accommodation in Broken Hill has been met with disappointment from the Isolated Children’s Parents’ Association (ICPA) of NSW.
ICPA-NSW was formed over 50 years ago due to the closure of student hostel accommodation in Bourke and it was realised that geographically isolated children had significant challenges accessing their compulsory education.
This latest closure is like history repeating itself…
