Hills College

Hills College is a remarkable school, 'A Place to Belong' for students, teachers and parents alike.

Hills College offers a range of services not found at most schools.  A maximum school population of only 660 students ensures that your child will be known to all. The Boarding environment allows groups of students a degree of privacy, but with the advantages of communal living.  Two single-gender boarding houses accommodate our students in safe and supervised environment, with dormitory staff located in each house. Activities and excursions allow students the chance to socialise and relax outside of school hours.  Furthermore, Brisbane and the beaches of the Gold Coast are both less than one hour’s drive away.

There are a number of sporting opportunities located in Jimboomba, while students who are enrolled in our golf program can access the driving range and other facilities with a short walk across the campus.

College programs 

The ‘small school’ community at Hills means that there is a far greater chance of your child gaining individual attention, with the College’s Wellbeing Team and the Support and Enrichment staff on hand to assist and extend the learning for each and every student.

The College offers a great diversity of offerings in the Secondary school, with elective subjects including Digital Technology, Design Technology, Japanese, Chinese, Dance, Drama, Visual Art and Music in the Junior Secondary College. Additionally, there is a wide range of School-based Apprenticeships, Traineeships, and Vocational Education and Training options for students, as well as pathways to tertiary institutions.

Our Senior subjects reflect the needs and future pathways of our students. The rigorous SET planning process is undertaken with our Year 10 students every August, and these choices influence the subject offerings in Senior. This way, the learning becomes very personalised and relevant to each student. The College has a proud history of student placement at universities in Queensland, other Australian states, and overseas – particularly to United States’ universities and colleges. The graduates of Hills College Class of 2021 continued the proud history of 100% of eligible graduating Year 12 students being offered placement at University.

Sporting Excellence 

Hills College is developing a reputation as a school with a Volleyball Excellence program to add to world-renowned Golf Program. The College has strong ties to the Hills Golf Academy to establish a unique golf education opportunity for young golfers. The concept of providing a state of the art golf coaching training program and academic program all on the same campus is quite unique. The program provides a comprehensive golf training package, in tandem with a respected secondary school academic education. Striking the right balance between the golf and academic components of the program is vital.
