Local Delivery Trip to Coober Pedy
Two Hawker Area School Students and our school Leader in Wellbeing and Inclusion, Sharon Lam, are off on a trip to Coober Pedy as part of the Far North Partnership Local Delivery initiative. Paul Haywood, Jimmy Morgan and Sharon left Adelaide on a Rex flight this morning after driving down to Adelaide last night. Many thanks here to Mopsy Daniels, one of our Governing Council Members who drove the group to Adelaide.
The Local Delivery initiative has been implemented by the Far North Partnership (Which Hawker Area School is a part of) in conjunction with Country Education SA aimed at providing education opportunities to Far North students that allow them to access quality curriculum delivery and achieve through access to academic and career oriented subjects which meet their needs. As a result of this Paul is studying in Stage One General Maths and English at the moment, with Sharon supplying the Maths to Paul and Coober Pedy students, and Paul recieving his English from Mr Nick in Coober Pedy. Jimmy Morgan is also going along to experience the curriculum activities and get a better understanding of what the Local Delivery program is about. Accompanying the students and Sharon on the trip also is Jake Miell, coordinator and mentor in local delivery.
The group arrived in Coober Pedy at 2pm this afternoon after a delay in the Rex flight, had a brief tour of the school and have settled in at the Mud Hut in Coober. Tommorrow they will have a combination of lessons in English and Maths, along with a tour of Coober Pedy and one of the mines, finishing up with a tea with all the students and some Coober Pedy staff.
On Friday there will be another couple of lessons before leaving Coober Pedy at 1pm to arrive in Adelaide at 3pm, finishing off the big trip with a drive back to Hawker that night.

Southern Cross Cannonball Classic
Dear Parents and Caregivers,
HAWKER AREA SCHOOL NEWS
On Wednesday 21st May, Hawker School had some exciting visitors. About 40 of the riders taking part in the 2025 Outback Run of the Southern Cross Cannonball Classic stopped by for the kids to see their wonderful old classic motorbikes.
The riders can participate on any brand or model of motorbike, as long as it was manufactured before 1949 and is as close to original factory-issue as possible. They must all have support crew, including spare parts and tools to service the bikes if needed.
This year’s run was from Darwin to Victor Harbor and raised funds for the RFDS. It was really great to see so many beautiful old bikes in outstanding condition, and kids and adults alike really enjoyed the opportunity.
Thanks Southern Cross Cannonball Classic team, you made our day! Ride safe.
Regards,
Daren O'Neill
