The aim of HCE is to provide students with the knowledge, skills and attitudes that will assist them in making informed decisions related to their health, their education, and their future careers. The students will be looking at such key elements as healthy living, healthy relationships, safety and injury prevention, substance misuse prevention and such topics as relating personal attributes to potential career options and transferable/employability skills (personal management skills, academic skills, teamwork skills).

Personal Development

We have a vested interest in the personal development of each and every student-athlete involved in the academy program as the experiences and environment will have a tremendously positive impact in the student’s overall life skills, basic personal responsibility, including taking care of personal possessions, and basic etiquette. We feel it is important that students also learn basic financial concepts, budgeting, bill payments, savings, investments and generally, the value of money. Students will be exposed to a wide variety of topics that include goal-setting, self-awareness and self-reflection.
