Elevate

The HSDC Elevate enrichment programme is our ALL NEW extra-curricular offering for students. Delivered across seven dynamic and unique strands, you will be able to use it to complement your studies and support your progression into a well-rounded individual.

Why are enrichment and extra-curricular activities important?

Prospects.ac.uk explains how extra-curricular activities can get you ahead with your future plans, whether that’s university, employment or an apprenticeship.

“The university experience extends beyond academic knowledge and a degree certificate. The skills students develop through extra-curricular activities often overlap with those that improve academic success.” – Billy Wong, Education Professor at University of Reading.

A great college enrichment programme could make all the difference in your progression!
