Working closely with Year Level Leaders, the HOS provides strategic and pastoral leadership for their sub-school, ensuring consistent application of College processes and promoting effective student management practices that support the social, academic, emotional and spiritual development of every student.

Further, interaction will take place with the Learning Diversity Team, the College Counselling Team, the Learning & Teaching Team and Staff and Operations. The HOS is a key member of the College Student Engagement Leadership Team and other College committees and teams as required by the Principal.
