Students enjoyed a fun taste of high school life, exploring our learning spaces, participating in hands-on activities, and experiencing the opportunities that secondary school has to offer.

Did you know that re-calling information helps students learn it more effectively than simply re-reading it?

That's why every lesson at HPSC begins with an ‘Activate’ task as part of our Instructional Model. By retrieving prior knowledge, students strengthen their understanding, make new connections and improve long-term retention.
