The Heads of Independent Co-Educational Schools meet each term.
The aims of our collaboration are:
The HICES Deputy Heads network provides a network of professional and collegial support and offers professional development specific to the areas of need in this diverse field.
All Deputy Heads are welcome to attend. There are four meetings per year, each hosted by various schools.
The HICES Secondary School Leaders Group is a new network aimed at providing professional development and networking opportunities for those in, or aspiring to, roles such as Head of Senior, Middle, or Secondary School.
It serves senior leaders not attending Deputy or Principal events, providing targeted PD and expanding leadership opportunities.
Meetings foster collegial support and deliver focused professional development for this diverse field.
The HICES Pastoral Care network equips and supports Pastoral Care leaders, emerging leaders and staff working in student wellbeing.
The meetings provide a network of professional and collegial support, enhance the capacity of staff working in student wellbeing roles and offer professional development specific to the areas of need in this diverse field.
All Pastoral Care/Student Wellbeing Leaders, Heads of House, Year Co-ordinators are welcome to attend. There are three meetings per year, each hosted by various schools.
Our mission is to pave the way toward ecological sustainability by providing education that matters. We are dedicated to forming strong professional relationships by connecting educators and encouraging collaboration. By working together, we create innovative programs that help students thrive and learn.
Through teamwork, we combine our energy and share resources to achieve results that can benefit schools and communities alike. This collective method gives students special chances they wouldn’t find in just one school.
We invite members from various faculties to join us, which enriches our collaborative learning and expands what we can accomplish. Welcoming a range of perspectives allows us to be more creative and tackle sustainability through different educational lenses.
