WHAT IS THE HSC WEEK ALL ABOUT?

Higher Level Learning, Service and Career (HSC) week is an immersive educational experience that takes students outside the traditional classroom setting to explore and learn in a more hands-on and experiential way. The purpose of such a week is to provide students with a unique opportunity to engage in learning activities that may not be possible within the constraints of a traditional classroom. It aims to broaden students' perspectives, enhance their understanding of the world around them, and provide them with real-life experiences that help them develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork skills. Additionally, an educational HSC can help students build stronger relationships with their peers and teachers, and provide opportunities for personal growth and development.
