Hillcrest Primary provides quality teaching and relevant, rich learning experiences for each child, in line with our school motto, Aiming for Excellence. We provide a balanced education within a caring, supportive, safe and challenging environment. Our school culture is underpinned by our six school values of Respect and Responsibility, Care and Compassion, Honesty and Trustworthiness. Our school is committed to providing stimulating learning experiences that challenge all and cater for the diverse needs of our students including those from a wide range of cultural backgrounds. Our curriculum has its focus on children gaining strong skills in literacy and numeracy while ensuring quality learning opportunities and experiences in all learning areas. Focussed support is provided to students with special needs, including our ESL students and those with a hearing impairment in our Oral Aural Unit, through additional staffing, small groups and class sizes, and explicit teaching. Our learning programs foster the development of independent and highly motivated learners. While offering all the advantages of a small, caring community, Hillcrest Primary also has extensive grounds, facilities and equipment which incorporate an innovative fitness circuit.
