COMMUNITY NEWS - Did you go to Hunchy School?

The Hunchy Community Association will celebrate the Centenary of the Opening of Hunchy State School on Sunday August 18, 9am – 3pm, with morning tea provided. They would love to have as many former students and staff as possible in attendance. From 1924 until its closure at the end of 1969, the school had 249 students registered and 19 teachers.

Any former students, staff and their families are encouraged to bring along photos and schoolyard yarns. Photos of school days and early Hunchy history, maps, family trees, etc., will be on exhibit during the day. 

This beautifully preserved building is a classic example of the one-teacher/ one-classroom Queensland schools of the era, and one of the few surviving on the Sunshine Coast. Local families in the 1980s secured a lease with the council and so began its use as the Hunchy Community Centre
