Collegiate networking groups within HICES

Heads of Schools

Contact person:
Mr Bill Low
Head of School
Central Coast Grammar School
 

The Heads of Independent Co-Educational Schools meet each term.
The aims of our collaboration are:

  • To provide a professional support group and forum for members
  • To arrange activities and programs, which nurture the development of students of members’ schools in their academic performance, as well as in a range of co-curricular pursuits
  • To keep abreast of developments in co-educational theory and practice
  • To arrange opportunities for the professional development of members and the staff within our association

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.
