Our international award-winning curriculum and pastoral care program are divided into four divisions: Early Learning (Ages 0-5 years old), Junior School (Prep to Year 4), Middle School (Year 5 to Year 8) and Senior School (Year 9 to Year 12).

Conversation and collaboration between student and teacher are at the heart of Hillcrest. Our Project-Based learning environment is rigorous, innovative and student-centred, fostering a dynamic classroom approach that provokes deeper learning through active exploration of real-world problems and issues. Our mission is to challenge minds, ignite imagination, and train the future leaders that have been entrusted to us. These goals are in the pursuit of expanding children’s lives spiritually and enlarging their capacity to treat others with genuine dignity and respect.
International students are assigned English-speaking homestay families who have been carefully selected by the College, ensuring a full immersion experience of Australian culture and way of life.

Testimonial
"I think what makes Hillcrest special for me is just the loving community and the passion that goes into everything that we do. What I’ve noticed about Hillcrest especially is that the teachers really care for every student and make sure that we’re doing well in our personal lives, not just in our schooling lives and really go that extra step to make Hillcrest a really special place for us."
