Country Buses

Just a reminder that students wanting to travel on country buses for football/netball training need to complete an adhoc application form and email to buses@horsham-college.vic.edu.au

 

These students will be accommodated if possible. Please be aware this will be a term by term proposition and if a regular traveller needs the seat they will have priority.

 

Under no circumstances should students travel without a legitimate application and approval.

Celebrating IDAHOBIT - May 17th

We possess a profound ability to shape our children's attitudes and beliefs, embedding values of acceptance, inclusivity, and respect for all.

 

The International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexism, and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT), celebrated each year on May 17th, emphasises the critical need to educate children about diversity and inclusivity. This day is about raising awareness of LGBTQIA+ issues and advocating for the rights and acceptance of all people, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, and sex characteristics.

 

Creating inclusive environments supports diversity and plays a vital role in raising awareness and demonstrating solidarity with LGBTQIA+ students and community members. It is a commitment to creating a world free from prejudice and discrimination, instilling values of empathy, respect and inclusivity.

 

This Special Report will help you fostering acceptance, empowering young people to become compassionate and informed advocates for equality.
