Pre School - VCE

starting from $4,109 p.a (Prep)

Hillcrest Christian College is a truly unique College. Its natural
environment fosters learning and dedicated caring staff challenge
students academically to reach their potential in order to open a range
of future choices on an educational and employment level.

A true sense of community is also appreciated as we aim for class sizes of 25 or 26 and also the school within school model.
The model divides the entire College into Early Learning (3 & 4 year
olds), Junior (Years Prep – 4), Middle (5-8) and Senior School (9-12).
Each area is overseen by a Section Head and is catered for by specific
play areas, facilities, programs and teachers.
The sometimes, difficult transition from Middle School into Senior
School is addressed in a uniquely tailored Year 9 program. Students
more mathematically gifted are encouraged and developed in the
Learning Extension & Acceleration Program (LEAP). A Curriculum
Support program is offered where required and a Chaplin, Welfare
Officer and Nurse maintain the students spiritual and physical needs.

Further enhancing students natural gifts and abilities are explored
in activities such as annual College Productions, Wood & Food
Technology, Graphic Design, Art, Japanese (LOTE), Music, Dance
and Photography. Additional opportunities exist outside the classroom
setting in the Outdoor Education, Equestrian, Agriculture / Horticulture
Programs. The College seeks to have each child reach their academic
potential through an engaging curriculum and a committed supportive
staff.

Students are given opportunities to taken on leadership roles and to be
involved in a student senate. The Senate team is an elected group of
student representatives, who seek to provide programs, support and
be a voice for the rest of the students in the College. From this group
School Captains are selected.

The mission of Hillcrest Christian College is to partner
with parents and the wider community to help develop
within each student the ability and desire to find and fulfil
the will of God for their lives.
The College offers human and practical resources, a
unique environment and opportunities to develop the
gifts and talents God has given to each member of
the College community. Specifically, each student will
be encouraged to develop Christian character as they
pursue excellence at an academic, creative and practical
level, all of which are valuable.
OUR VISION
To be a leading provider of quality Christian Education
delivered by Christian Staff, ensuring the Gospel
message is an integral part of all we do.

Hillcrest Christian College offers students an educational
opportunity established on a Christian foundation. The
basis of this foundation is God (Father, Son and Holy
Spirit) as Creator, Redeemer and Sustainer.
As students prepare to take their place as young adults
in Australian society, the College seeks to instil in them
high standards of Biblical morality, an understanding of
social justice and respect for others. The acquisition
of knowledge, understanding and wisdom, are desired
spiritual and educational outcomes for each student.
Our curriculum recognises the Lordship of Christ and
the Bible as the inspired Word of God. The Scriptures
reveal God’s desire for everyone to be in a personal
relationship with Him, developing their gifts and talents
in service to Him as they grow in Christian character.
This relationship is considered to be a model for all other
relationships, and a basis for the building of self-esteem
and a fulfilling way of life.
