Huonville High School wins international award

Congratulations to Huonville High School for being announced as the winner in the Oceania region of the Zayed Future Energy Prize.

The Huonville High School community should be very proud of this achievement up against the best in the world.

Funding from the Zayed Future Energy Prize will be used to raise the renewable energy capacity of the school to 60 per cent, up from its current levels of 2.5 per cent.

The school also plans to develop a Zayed Energy Hub, which will function as a laboratory, run on 100 per cent renewable energy and showcase solar, battery storage, insulation models, pellet heating, LED lighting, and data management.

This latest acknowledgement is a terrific testimony to the dedication of teachers, support staff, students, and their families at Huonville High School.
