HSC students who enjoy pizza and good company are invited to attend one of 15 HSC Lock In Study Sessions being held across the Northern Beaches this October.

Northern Beaches Council General Manager Customer & Corporate Helen Lever said the Lock In Study Sessions, scheduled between Tuesday 3 - Thursday 26 October, were a popular Council initiative designed to support young people through the HSC.

“The HSC Lock Ins offer a safe, supervised and social environment where students can study with their friends or tutors.

“They’re something out of the ordinary – and a bit of fun – that might help to alleviate study stress and benefit students’ wellbeing at a pretty challenging time in their lives,” Ms Lever said.

Library members can show their card for free entry. Non-members can bring identification and join on the night or simply pay $5 at the door.

Bookings aren’t required but it’s first-in, best-dressed and entry will close 15 minutes after start time to minimise interruptions.

·        Glen Street Library Wednesday 4, 18 October, 5.30 - 8.30pm
