HLSCC Welcomes Large Turnout of Students for Fall 2023 Orientation

Highest Number of Dually Enrolled Students Recorded

The H. Lavity Stoutt Community College (HLSCC) in Paraquita Bay experienced an impressive surge in new applicants, parents, and guardians during the fall 2023 orientation held this past Monday.

The campus was abuzz with activity as faculty, staff, and volunteers warmly greeted the incoming students and provided them with branded giveaways upon their arrival. The orientation program was packed with informative sessions, comprehensive tours of the campus facilities, including classrooms, labs, and recreational areas, and a delightful complimentary buffet. To add to the excitement, an exhibition volleyball game was organized in the afternoon.

This semester, HLSCC proudly announced a record-breaking number of dually enrolled students. A total of seventy high school seniors from Elmore Stoutt High School, Bregado Flax Educational Centre, and Ciboney School of Excellence joined other college freshmen at the orientation session, which took place on July 14th. Dually enrolled students refer to high school students who are simultaneously taking high school and college courses, allowing them to earn college credits while completing their secondary education. This achievement highlights the increased interest and dedication of students in pursuing higher education and gaining a head start in their academic journey.
