Home Hill High School car wash raises funds for Student Council

Home Hill State High School’s Student Council rolled up their sleeves on Sunday, August 24, hosting a community car wash that combined hard work with plenty of fun.

With music playing, students spent the morning washing and drying cars, raising more than $400 for future council projects, with the final total still to be confirmed. The event drew strong community support, with families, staff and locals turning out not only to have their cars cleaned, but also to purchase fresh cucumbers grown in the school’s agricultural precinct.

Student Council members described the day as both successful and enjoyable, noting the teamwork and community spirit that helped drive the fundraiser.

The school extended thanks to the Kelly family for their car-themed decorations and refreshments, as well as to the many students and families who volunteered their time. Organisers said the morning reflected the positive connection between the school and wider community.
