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.)

Eli L - State Rugby League Representative!

We are thrilled to celebrate the outstanding achievement of Eli L (Year 7), who recently represented both District and Country Queensland with unwavering passion and pride.

During the school holidays, Eli travelled to Townsville to compete in the prestigious Bushrangers U13’s team. With heart, grit, and determination, Eli gave it his all on the field, showcasing not only his athletic talent but also his deep commitment to sportsmanship and teamwork.

The Bushrangers U13’s team finished as Runners-Up, a remarkable accomplishment that reflects the hard work and dedication of every player. Eli’s performance was a standout, and his representation of HSC was marked by pride, respect, and integrity.

We are incredibly proud and overjoyed by Eli’s success. His journey is a testament to what can be achieved through dedication and love for the game.

Congratulations, Eli! You’ve made your school and community proud.

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.
