MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Kia ora – Greetings
Hillcrest High School is a decile 7 co-educational secondary school with a roll of approximately 1750 students. Opened in 1972, the school will be celebrating 50 years of education in the Hillcrest community at Easter 2022. We are a very inclusive school where diversity is highly valued and this is reflected in our diverse range of students, languages and cultures.
Teaching and learning and academic achievement is our core business. We aim to provide every student the opportunity to excel and gain the qualifications, skills and experiences that they require in their future pathways.
Our students are provided with an extensive range of activities involving Education Outside the Classroom (EOTC), sport, the Arts, performance and culture as well as numerous leadership and community-based activities. These opportunities make a significant contribution to our school and in doing so add pride and school spirit, which are both essential in a successful school.
