Why Hills?
The Hills Grammar School is located in the Hills Shire of Sydney. The Hills Shire is in part a leafy suburban environment with a quiet semi-rural fringe, and in part a centre of activity with many international businesses making it their home. There are plenty of community facilities, including large shopping and cinema complexes, full healthcare services and beautiful parks and gardens.
The main hub of the Hills Shire, Castle Hill, is only 35 minutes away from the city and is easily accessible by regular train and bus services. The Hills Shire is a very safe and friendly area where many cultures work together in their day to day lives.
