History

Hawker College is located on the site of the original Kama Homestead. [1]

Construction of Hawker College, which was undertaken at a cost of $3.3 million by Jennings Industries Ltd, began in January 1973 and was completed in December 1975. [2] The college was formed shortly after the ACT Government developed its own education system—the new system meant that public high schools would only teach from grade 7 to 10, and that grades 11 and 12 would be completed at a separate college. Hawker was established and enrolled its first students in 1976 and the school's first Year 12 Certificates were presented in December 1977. [3]
