Principal's Welcome

Thank you for visiting The Hills Grammar School website. We are very proud of our School and what it has to offer your child. This site is provided to help you with that very important decision regarding the school your daughter or son should attend. It will give you an open and realistic view of the educational experience at The Hills Grammar School.

Although our School is young, having commenced operations in 1983, you will come to appreciate the great advances that have been made in terms of facilities, teaching and learning, curriculum and pastoral care over that time. Learning for both students and staff is foremost in importance. We take pride in our strong academic tradition.

I would encourage you to request a prospectus and hope that you will supplement your reading with a tour of The Hills Grammar School so that you can sense the uniqueness of our School. The daily experience of each student at Hills results from a blending of a number of features.

In a safe environment which promotes trust, we strive to help our students realise their potential. Our mission focuses on the development of the whole person and it is in this context that learning is seen as a lifelong process with our ultimate goal being to develop a love of learning. The belief that learning should be an exhilarating experience is a tenet of The Hills Grammar School philosophy.

In addition to our students who possess a wide range of talents and abilities, our dedicated and highly qualified teachers are our greatest resource. They are wholeheartedly committed to the advancement of their students. Teaching at The Hills Grammar School is regarded as an exciting and demanding vocation. The environment which the teachers aim to create is one of intellectual curiosity through shared endeavour and collaboration with students.

The School is well known for its caring and family oriented environment. Parents are actively encouraged to become involved by supporting the School's programs and activities. Since the foundation of The Hills Grammar School much has been achieved through a spirit of goodwill and generosity. Please come and visit our School and see for yourself.
