Hillview is an excellent school. On a day-to-day basis the atmosphere is calm, allowing the students to work well yet also vibrant with so many exciting events happening all year round. We have an outstanding Performing Arts faculty and facilities and the school is committed to embedding creativity around the whole school.
I joined Hillview in September 2019 and quickly found the atmosphere to be both natural and balanced for staff and students alike. The students learn because the teachers are allowed to be enthusiastic about their subjects and little is prescribed.
This school does not prepare students for life, it is life. The students are trusted and, therefore, I would say, the staff are treated with respect as authority figures.
This school oozes creativity and never is this more evident than the autonomy that the teachers are given to provide education to the students.
Applying to teach at this school is one of the best decisions I have ever made. Hand on heart, this is the best place I have ever worked.
