ARC features in DET Annual School Report for Wadalba

The ARC was recognised as a significant community and statewide education and research centre for Aquaculture...
"The Aquaculture Research Centre was created to support teaching, learning and research into a sustainable fish farming industry and the marine environment. The centre has become a fully compliant commercial setup and is a state focus for vocational education. A high level delegation from The Board of VET (BVET) visited the centre in September (2005) and reported favorably to the Minister for Education.
Students had the opportunity to grown three hundred trout and four hundred Australian Bass in 2005. The trout were grown to an edible size, harvested, smoked, vacuum sealed and given to school and community members who purchased a fish futures certificate earlier in the year. The Bass were taken on as a long term project on agistment for a local 'catch and release' operator."
