Fireside chats @ Hays is a series of extra-curricular seminar and activities organised by Hays, free and optional to all students at the College.

It is Hays International College’s effort to help students to be equipped with life skills that will enable them to be better prepared for their career and life after they have graduated from Hays.

The seminars are organised to provide the students with stimulating and character enhancing ideas. These ideas will equip them to harness the skills they are learning so that they can be better leaders that will make a lasting impact in their community.

Fireside Chats @ Hays


Fireside Chats @ Hays is a complimentary Leadership & Character Development program of Hays International College. It aims to provide our students with extracurricular skills and knowledge to help them grow as a person in character. It also endeavours to challenge and develop their minds and faith and prepare them to be more effective when they graduate.

We aim to also equip them with useful practical skills beyond what they learn in their classrooms to enable them to be more competent as stewards and leaders in their own community.

The following are some sample topics covered in the past:

  • Australian History & Culture
  • Starting your own business
  • Excellence in Public speaking; importance of communication skills
  • Leaders in Today’s Society
  • Finding & keeping your partner for life
  • Discovering yourself
