Hands On Learning

Hands On Learning (HOL) is a program that encourages students to engage and achieve at school whilst also building confidence and skills. One day a week, up to ten students spend the day outside the classroom developing teamwork and leadership skills. Rainbow P-12 College encourage HOL students to be involved with projects around the school and the wider community, as well as their own benefit. The HOL hut is the Homebase for the HOL students; it is a converted shed on school grounds located at West Paddock. This is where students prepare, share meals and organise their activities.
