COMMUNITY

Students at HSC are encouraged to excel in their chosen areas of interest, whether these are school-based interests or occur outside the school arena.  If you would like to share an achievement relating to your student with the College community, please submit the details to media@hsc.qld.edu.au. (Be aware that we don’t always know about your student’s achievements unless you tell us!)

(Note: Students who excel at ‘school-based’ sports, cultural and academic pursuits through the school pathway are formally recognised at our Sports Awards Evening or Cultural Awards Showcase and/or Speech Night (Academic Awards) each year.)

Toby R - Year 12

Toby R (Year 12) has been a bit busy over the last six weeks. The beginning of last month saw him breaking the Mackay ParkRun record for the second time in 12 months and setting a 24-second personal best for this course.

In mid-February, Toby competed in Brisbane in the 5000m, achieving a personal best over this distance of 58 seconds. A fortnight later he flew down to Canberra to compete in the Canberra Athletics 5000m Championships, coming home with a silver medal.

Furthermore, last weekend in the Queensland 3000m Championships, Toby achieved a pretty good time for the beginning of his season and 5th place in his race.

April will see him heading to Perth for the Chemist Warehouse Australian Athletics Championships.

Best of luck, Toby!

Park safe and keep our kids safe

There were a number of close calls with vehicles and pedestrians near our schools and sporting zones last year.

With students now back at school and sports season under way, it is time to park safe and keep our kids safe.

Parking in the wrong spot can prevent safe access along pathways and obscure the vision of other drivers and pedestrians.

Council will be patrolling school and sporting zones to ensure no one is parking in an unsafe manner.
