"On behalf of the HICES Executive Committee, we are delighted to invite you to the 2025 Biennial HICES Conference, held at the ICC in Sydney from 30th June to 1st July 2025. 

This event will bring together over 130 educational leaders, including Principals and Heads of Schools, from co-educational, independent schools across New South Wales. With the theme "Tomorrow's Trailblazers: Evolving Education, Transforming Societies," the conference will explore how education must evolve to address future challenges. It will showcase how co-educational schools prepare students for success by fostering innovation, diversity, and optimism. 

 Join us to connect with like-minded leaders, share perspectives, and shape the future of education. We look forward to welcoming you to this transformative event."
