HSHS History Reunion in Port Hedland.
Hedland Senior High School (HSHS) was formed in 1971 during the first iron ore boom of Western Australia. It signified the growth of Port Hedland from a small town of 800 people in the early 1960s to more than 4,000 at the beginning of the 1970s. HSHS also offered boarding at Hardy House for those students who lived in Goldsworthy, Shay Gap and other small towns.
Many past students have fond memories of their time living in Port Hedland and the friendships that formed to make the town an exciting and interesting place to live. In 2011, Hedland Senior High School with turn 40 and past students are invited to a reunion in Port Hedland to show our appreciation of the school’s milestone and its future.
Port Hedland Now is where you can register your attendance and let us know about your time at the school and what you are doing now. It is essential that you register so that we can plan events, tours, accommodation and your Tshirt size.
This is the plan so far:
- You must register using the Registration form on this website to pre-book your tshirt
- Bring copies of school photos, collectibles or memoirs from your collections so that we can create a record of the event with all the memories. Waggies uniforms is a collectors dream!
