At Hastings Secondary College, we are committed to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment where students thrive academically, culturally, athletically, and within the community. Our dedicated campus staff provide personalised assistance to ensure every student reaches their full potential.
Students benefit from a range of support services available across our campuses. This includes guidance from the Head Teacher of Wellbeing, the Learning and Support Team (LAST), Year Advisors, and Pastoral Care Teachers. Additionally, our campuses are equipped with trained Counsellors who offer confidential counselling and support to students and their families.
Hastings Secondary College is proud to have an Aboriginal Education Officer (AEO) who supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, organising cultural activities and providing essential assistance throughout the academic year.
Celebrating student success is integral to our ethos, with achievements recognised through our 'Learning Expectations' framework and merit and reward systems. Our discipline system emphasises the importance of a positive learning environment while providing robust welfare support for students.
