New Bus for Port Hedland

21 March 2008

 

Hedland Senior High School students are on a journey to great things after winning a grant to purchase a new school bus.

 

Through the Rio Tinto Minerals Community Grant Scheme, the bus will be purchased to provide safe transport for students taking part in a diverse range of educational and vocational programs. 

 

Hedland Senior High School is to be congratulated for the unique opportunities it offers students to become involved with local industry and make informed career choices,” said Denise Goldsworthy, Managing director of Dampier Salt.

 

“Arming students with motivation, aspiration and the tools to make real life choices benefits the whole community.”

 

This is the third year the Community Grant Scheme has been awarded. The scheme provides an annual grant of $50,000 to fund key projects which provide a long-term benefit for the local community.

 

There were a total of six submissions for this year’s Rio Tinto Mineral’s Community Grant Scheme and the entries were all very high quality community projects
