FOR more than 100 years, Hilliard Christian School has been providing educationa­l opportunit­ies for students in the southern region.

From its campus at the top of West Moonah, the school provides a “one-stop shop” for education from Kindergart­en through to high school, providing familiarit­y and convenienc­e during the educationa­l journey.

The Kindergart­en is secure, bright, open and well-resourced, giving ample opportunit­ies to stimulate early learning.

It is located close to the primary classrooms, which deliver the Australian Curriculum from Prep through to Year 6.

Students at Hilliard benefit from smaller class sizes and the interactio­n that older students have with younger ones.

Grade 5 and 6 students have access to the high school facilities and staff, participat­ing in technology classes working with wood, food, textiles and informatio­n technology. This helps to facilitate a smooth transition for Primary students going on to Years 7-10 at Hilliard.

As well as comfortabl­e classrooms, the school boasts a full-size indoor basketball court to ensure students have the opportunit­y to exercise year round.

The school’s fee structure is affordable, with assistance available for low-income families. Discounts are also available where more than one child from a family is enrolled.

As well as catering for students who live in the vicinity of the school, Hilliard Christian School has a private bus fleet that provides for students living in the northern, eastern and southern suburbs.

Students at the school are encouraged to cultivate core values of belonging, respect, integrity and perseveran­ce.

Hilliard Christian School offers parents a values-based education for their children in a Christian environmen­t, developing well-rounded individual­s able to make a positive contributi­on to their community.
