Hillcrest Christian College
Welcome
Hillcrest Christian College is an independent, co-educational school with 1,550 students from Pre-Kindy - Year 12. We have one campus for all year levels, located in picturesque Reedy Creek, on the Gold Coast, Queensland.
Hillcrest has been on an exciting journey of growth, innovation and change in recent years, as we reimagine 21st Century education, while upholding the core values envisioned by our founders in 1982.
Hillcrest is so much more than just a college, and offers a nurturing environment that upholds our values of 'Excellence in Christ.' Our exceptional Christian teachers are committed to providing the best possible educational experience as they strive to challenge, inspire and maximise every student's potential.
Our classrooms are filled with incredible young men and women imbued with remarkable character and concern for their community, and our campus offers some of the most amazing educational and co-curricular facilities imaginable.
Facilities
We have made a significant investment into our student facilities, and recently completed a number of major building works which have completely transformed our facilities, to provide our students with the best possible educational and cocurricular experiences.
Academic
Innovation:
Hillcrest Christian College is passionate about educational innovation. Our classroom curriculum and practical co-curricular programs have been designed to embed learning experiences that teach new and emerging technologies, and create the best possible digital platform for our students.
Gifted and Talented:
We understand that highly-gifted students have the capacity for higher-level learning and thought, and require a more challenging academic curriculum. We offer full and part-time Gifted and Talented programs in our Junior Learning Community, as well as a part-time program in our Senior Learning Community.
Learning Support:
Our College operates a successful Learning Support program from Prep - Year 12, staffed by qualified teachers and aides. Our aim in Learning Support is to identify developmental issues as early as possible, and to work with children and their parents to address problem areas. The early identification of learning needs is fundamental to implementing a successful strategy of support, for any student who needs it.
Cocurricular
Education at Hillcrest continues beyond the academic classroom and we offer our students an extensive range of cocurricular opportunities to accommodate many different interests from sport, music, choral programs, dance, drama and debating; to community service, mission and outdoor education, such as the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme.
Performing Arts
Hillcrest students can participate in an exciting variety of Performing Arts curricular and cocurricular programs across the scope of Music, Drama and Dance.
Our renowned Performing Arts program features 14 choirs, with specialist vocal and choral staff. Our Instrumental Program has over 320 musicians from Prep - Year 12, and the Years 4 - 6 band and strings programs are run as part of our general curriculum to give every student a foundational understanding of music. And our Annual College musicals in our 260-seat performance theatre are a highlight of our College calendar.
Sport
Our Sport and Cocurricular program at Hillcrest is important to the holistic education of students and is integrated throughout the Prep - Year 12 timetable. Our sporting and extracurricular programs have all been designed to be fun and engaging.
And for those wishing to engage in competitive sport, Hillcrest Christian College is home to the Hillcrest Knights - a talented group of sportsmen and women from across our College community, who take to the fields, the courts, the tracks, the pools and the seas, every week, to represent Hillcrest with outstanding sportsmanship and character.
