The Heads of Independent Co-Educational Schools meet each term.
The aims of our collaboration are:
The HICES Deputies Network is a forum for Deputies to meet and discuss professional matters in a collegial environment. Meetings are held each term and are hosted at schools within the HICES network.
Agendas are designed to canvas issues relevant to the organisational, managerial and strategic work of our deputies. Guest speakers from professional organisations and peak bodies are invited to present to the group. Host schools often provide insight into their current practices in pedagogy, the development of their school environment, compliance matters, school structures, student welfare and management.
Attendees meet socially for dinner ahead of meetings to enjoy the camaraderie of the shared experience of being a deputy.
You can read more about our Deputies Network here on our HICES News page.
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.
