College Connect is designed to build relationships and understanding with students and parents/carers with the aim of supporting and assisting in a seamless transition to secondary school.

Over the year the College Team will discuss and explore with parents and students:

  • College Connect - The comprehensive program of events for the year. Year 5 and 6 primary school parents and careers can subscribe to our newsletter. Information is sent from the College twice a term. Subscribe here.
  • Zenith - an enrichment program to enhance and extend learning experiences for gifted and high achieving students
  • Academies and PIPs -  Creative and Performing Arts, Sports and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics)
  • Supported Learning - an individualised program for students identified by the Department of Education for placement in supported learning
  • iExplore -  a program to identify and assist in transitioning those students who may require additional support adapting from Year 6 to Year 7

Each year in December, Year six students are welcomed to Hastings Secondary College for a day of orientation as they prepare for life as a high school student. Find out more about what happens on orientation day.
