Hands On Learning (HOL) is a program committed to preventing the harm of early school leaving by creating opportunities at school for young people to discover their talents and experience success. Selected secondary students will spend one full day a week with Shannon and Mark outside the classroom environment, designing, building and constructing a variety of projects for school and the local community. You will also plan, prepare and share meals together. Hands On Learning is a place to belong, people to belong to, real things to do and a chance to give back.

Students in HOL have contributed to many great community projects, such as building new tables for the cricket club, creating a pencil garden for the kinder, working bees at the pool and refurbishing signs at the golf course. School highlights include constructing the Gah-Gah pit, chook house, front fence, pizza oven and Indigenous garden. Our HOL students have been interviewed on the radio, featured on the front cover of the nationwide HOL newsletter and won awards for their outstanding achievements and contributions. Well done HOL, we are so proud of you!
