Performing Arts
From involvement in the primary choir, learning one of a wide range of instruments, participating in Eisteddfod competitions or being a cast member in one of our musicals or concerts, Hillcrest Primary students are able to appreciate, learn and celebrate a range of performing arts.
The Performing Arts is one of Hillcrest’s strong suites. We have over a dozen itinerant music tutors who provide lessons for hundreds of students. Secondary has a number of choirs, ensembles and bands, and every year we hold a major musical production. We are also active participants in and frequent host of many local and regional interschool events and competitions.
Sport
We love seeing all our primary students being active and healthy. Sport is an essential part of this and throughout the year there are plenty of opportunities for participation and achievement. School events, interschool games, and competitions that extend to state representative levels are all a vital part of the school calendar.
Sport is an integral part of life and learning in Hillcrest Secondary. Every effort is made to encourage and provide students with opportunities to be active, healthy young people and to develop and test out their skills across a range of sporting codes and pursuits.
