Connecting Hume PC Awards

Thirty-one primary school students from Hume have shared in more than $20,000 in prizes as part of the Connecting Hume PC Awards program which recognises some of the region's brightest young students

The special ceremony was held at the Hume Global Learning Centre on Wednesday 23 March 2011. Each student was presented with a bag of goodies including a laptop and access to a year of free internet.

The Connecting Hume PC Awards aims help empower our young to take charge of their future from a young age by helping to remove barriers to learning.

Since 2004, every primary school in Hume is asked to nominate an outstanding student from grade 4 to 6 who demonstrates a passion and dedication for learning and have been identified as students who would benefit from computer and internet access at home.

More than 300 children and their families across Hume have benefited from this program over the years.

The Connecting Hume PC Awards program is a Council initiative run in partnership with the Hume Global Learning Village (HGLV) and is generously sponsored by Ford Australia.
