Dear Year 6 Students and families,
Get ready to embark on an evening of discovery and excitement as we pave the way for your transition from Year 6 to Year 7 at Hastings Secondary College.
It is with great pleasure that we extend a warm invitation to our upcoming Year 7 2025 Open Nights, where we will showcase the amazing opportunities and supportive community that await you
Westport Campus: 27th February at 5:00 at the MPC (Multi-Purpose-Centre)
Port Macquarie Campus: 29th February at 5:00 at the MPC (Multi-Purpose-Centre)
At Hastings Secondary College, we believe in nurturing not just academic success, but the well-being of every student. Our comprehensive well-being programs are designed to foster resilience, mindfulness and a sense of belonging, ensuring that every student feels supported and valued as they navigate their educational journey.
During the evening, you will have the chance to learn more about our well-being initiatives, which include mindfulness practices, peer support networks, and access to trained counsellors who are always ready to lend a listening ear and provide guidance. We understand the importance of nurturing both the mind and the heart, and our commitment to student well-being is at the core of everything we do. The tour of both campuses including brand-new buildings and facilities will be a highlight.
Additionally, we will be offering taster lessons and demonstrations to provide a glimpse into the exciting academic opportunities available at Hastings Secondary College. You'll also receive information regarding our Academies (STEM, Sports, and Creative Industries), Zenith, Wellbeing, and Supported Learning programs, which are tailored to support and enrich the educational experience of every student.
One of the greatest assets of our school community is our friendly and dedicated staff. From teachers to support staff, everyone at Hastings Secondary College is committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment where every student feels seen, heard, and valued. Our staff members go above and beyond to build strong relationships with students and families, providing the support and encouragement needed to thrive academically and personally.
At the heart of our mission is the belief in providing a quality education that prepares students not only for academic success but also for life beyond the classroom. Our academic programs are complemented by a rich array of co-curricular activities, allowing students to explore their interests, develop essential skills, and strive to their full potential. We are dedicated to cultivating critical thinking, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning in every student, empowering them to become confident, compassionate, and engaged members of society.
As you embark on this exciting transition to Year 7, we invite you to join us in creating a vibrant and supportive community where each student can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Together, we will embark on a journey of growth, exploration, and endless possibilities.
Our College staff and local principals and staff will be there on both these evenings.
We all look forward to welcoming you to our school community and partnering with you in providing an exceptional educational experience for your child.
Best wishes
Phil Harris
Principal In Residence - Transition and Pathways
