23.01.2022 HORIZONS COLLEGE'S MOVE TO ALTERNATIVE LEARNING ARRANGEMENTS Our school, like others, respects the advice of the expert health authorities and has been following this advice by continuing our program of face-to-face teaching. Following on from the Prime Minister's recognition last night that some schools have already moved to alternative learning arrangements for students, our school has decided to provide learning at home resources for students until the end of the term. ... This arrangement will commence from and including Wednesday, 25 March. Learning at home resources while Horizons College will be providing student learning online via Google Classrooms, we understand and respect that not all of our students have access to a computer or the Internet. As such, all students will receive hard copies of activity booklets and/or learner guides for their subject areas via a mass mail out on Wednesday, 25 March. Our thoughts are with every member of our community during this uncertain time. We hope that you all stay safe and well.

23.01.2022 Empty supermarket shelves have created extreme demand for basic meats, vegetables and pantry staples as people prepared to isolate from COVID-19. . Currently many Australians are left scratching their heads figuring out how to make dinner during these unfamiliar times. . One of Horizons College own MasterChefs Dan Cannon, said although it was frustrating, now was a good time to try new recipes like one of these creations produce in our college kitchen.

23.01.2022 Happy Mothers Day to all of our past, current and future school Moms.

22.01.2022 What is social distancing and why is it important? Social distancing includes ways to stop or slow the spread of infectious diseases. It means less contact between you and other people. Social distancing is important because COVID-19 is most likely to spread from person-to-person through:... -direct close contact with a person while they are infectious or in the 24 hours before their symptoms appeared. -close contact with a person with a confirmed infection who coughs or sneezes, or - touching objects or surfaces (such as door handles or tables) contaminated from a cough or sneeze from a person with a confirmed infection, and then touching your mouth or face. So, the more space between you and others, the harder it is for the virus to spread.

20.01.2022 Having the chance to complete an assessment by taking photos of the Queensland Reds with Canon Australia from the sideline of Suncorp Stadium is not something everyone gets to do, so understandably Horizon College students Jayden Harris and Brodie Halligan have been grinning from ear to ear since they got to do just that on Saturday. We have been so impressed with the shots taken by the pair, including Jaydens top ten below! #wearered #whereelseinqueensland #canonaustralia

20.01.2022 We love seeing our students developing and improving in the pursuit of their chosen passions. Photography student Troy Perry created these beautiful images at Cabooltures Centenary Lakes this week, using the HDR technique he recently learned in class. For those of you who are wondering, HDR uses post-processing to combine multiple images of the same scene shot at different shutter speeds into one image, which ensures the most amount of detail possible is shown in the capture. #whereelseinqueensland

20.01.2022 For many of our students, basketball is a beloved pastime for recreation and for fitness. . We are pleased to announce that now, thanks to the collective efforts of our Junior Garden Class, Horizon College has a new backboard and hoop for all students to enjoy! #whereelseinqueensland
