Hills Adventist College - Kellyville
Kellyville Campus
Hills Adventist College is a dual-campus college.
Our Kellyville campus was established in 2011 to facilitate growth to a full Kindergarten to Year 12 school. Our Castle Hill campus continued to offer an Early Learning Centre and Junior School (K–4), however Middle School (Year 5–8) and Senior School (Year 9–12) were relocated to 10 acres at North Kellyville. Soon, it became apparent with an abundance of new development in the North Kellyville area, that an additional Junior School would also be needed at the Kellyville campus. So, in 2018 the first Kindergarten class at Kellyville began. We are now a bustling Kindergarten to Year 12 college at Kellyville, while Castle Hill offers an Early Learning Centre and Kindergarten to Year 5. In 2024, Year 6 will be added at Castle Hill.

A Learning Environment
Hills Adventist College teaches students to become life-long learners. Many students today will perform jobs during their lifetime that haven't even been created yet and this requires them to know how to learn and adapt to new experiences.
Our students demonstrate a high level of competence in basic skills, indicated by standardised test results and awards in academic competitions.
Hills Adventist College Kellyville campus has well-resourced classrooms and specialist teaching areas to provide ideal learning environments that allow students to develop the expertise needed for today’s world.
At Hills Adventist College we value creativity. This is fostered and affirmed in our art and music programs. Students can be part of the school band, as well as having the opportunity for individual music tuition.
An active lifestyle is an important part of our school program at Hills Adventist College. Our PE program fosters consistent fitness and our students benefit from the expertise of specialist instructors in gymnastics and athletics. Our annual Swimming and Athletics Carnivals are great events for uniting school and family, and our ASISSA membership (All Suburbs Independent Schools Sporting Association) gives the students at Hills Adventist College the challenge of inter-school competition.
Middle School
Middle School at Hills Adventist College is designed to provide students with a 'safety net' that enables them to develop as they embrace new experiences with assurance; knowing that they have the necessary support networks available. Utilising a process of staged transition that prepares students for Senior School, our staff work hard to ensure they become more independent and self-reliant throughout their Middle and Senior school years.
Our Middle School provides a fluid transition academically, socially, emotionally, physically and spirituality within the College environment.
Middle School teachers genuinely care about their students, enabling each child to develop their unique identity and abilities.

We have a strong team of experienced Teachers, Chaplains and Counsellors who take the time to get to know and understand each student. They provide mentorship, guidance and foster in students a sense of belonging and involvement which helps them develop a strong sense of positive wellbeing.
Extra Curricular
