Hobart City High School Association Strategic Plan 2025-26

Our purpose

To build a connected school community that partners with families and the wider community to support our young people.

Our vision

A vibrant, diverse and inclusive school community that works with the school to enable our young people to thrive.

Our values

We support the school’s values of Respect,  Connection, Responsibility, Growth and Courage, and their guiding principles of collaboration, excellence and innovation. We add our own values to guide our behaviour and decision-making:

  • Collaboration – we work together to make a difference
  • Compassion – we embrace equity and treat each other with respect
  • Aspiration – we are proud of our school and we lead by example

Our goals

In the next two years we will work towards achieving our goals.

  1. Engagement: Engage and inform our school community
  2. Input: Provide valuable input into the plans, policies and initiatives of the school
  3. Support: Support the school through partnerhips and fundraising 
  4. Governance: Build a sustainable model of governance for the School Association 

Priorities

In the next 12 months we will focus on: 

  • Reviewing and implementing changes to the HCHSA Engagement Strategy
  • Promoting the Student-Led Grants Program 
  • Implementing efficient governance processes
  • Developing and implementing a fundraising model in partnership with the Friends of HCHS
  • Involvement in designing the HCHS Years 9-12 Strategy
