Hilliard State School, Alexandra Hills, QLD

School statement

Hilliard State School has a reputation for enabling children to reach their potential in a range of areas. Our commitment is to the development of the whole child which includes academic, sporting, cultural, social and emotional aspects. Our school motto 'Acceptance in a Caring Community' is embedded in all our actions and reflected in the relationships between teachers, students and the school community. At Hilliard State School a common approach to developing effective citizens for the future is linked to the six Cs: Care, Cooperation, Consideration, Courtesy, Common Sense and Courage and by explicit teaching of habits of the mind through 'Program Achieve: You Can Do It!' By developing an understanding of these values students are provided with a tool to reflect on their own behaviours, take responsibility for their own actions and evaluate their future choices. In addition to the eight key learning areas, we also offer additional activities that align with our school philosophy of Provision of Opportunity. Some highlights include Aerobics and Hip Hop, an acclaimed Student Leadership Program and performance opportunities through annual Spring Fever Concerts. Visit the school website.
