Student Services & Support
Guiding Students Every Step of the Way
Hillcrest High School takes a whole-school approach to student well-being, ensuring every student is supported throughout their journey. Each student is part of a Hauora form class with a dedicated teacher who liaises closely with them and the year-level Dean. The Deans oversee the welfare of their year group and follow their progress throughout their schooling. Senior leaders also play a pivotal role in pastoral care, working closely with students at their assigned year levels. For immediate health concerns, our well-equipped health clinic, staffed by registered nurses, offers medical assistance and guidance.
