GO TEAM
At Hillmount Public School, our goal is to promote lifelong education and develop model citizens in our community. Our students come from different backgrounds, programs, experiences and families, however, at school we unite and create a non-threatening, risk-taking, positively infectious environment. Children at our school respect and support one another to help each other achieve high expectations. Students are given many opportunities to get involved in our school and this is why we have a dynamic culture. Our staff provide numerous in-class and extra-curricular experiences. These include: Hillmount Intermural Club, a Talent Show, Forest of Reading Programs, and many sports activities. Educators value the importance of developing the whole child- academically, physically, socially, behaviourally and emotionally.
