Nestled along Cattai Ridge Road in Glenorie, Hillside Public School is surrounded by nature - a peaceful setting where children can learn, grow, and feel at home.

Mornings at Hillside are bright, welcoming, and stress-free, a place where children arrive happy and ready to start their day with confidence.

Our grounds are designed for learning and laughter - from our bright signage and gardens to the hands-on discovery spaces where children explore, plant, and create.

Our beautifully maintained grounds give students room to play, explore, and connect. From our beach volleyball court, basketball and tennis courts, to the large oval, playground, sandpit, vegetable patch, exploring garden, and yarning circle, every corner of Hillside encourages active learning and friendships to grow.

Active learning is part of every day at Hillside, where curiosity, movement, and fun come together in every lesson.

Sport and teamwork are at the heart of our school spirit. Every student is encouraged to move, try new things, and build confidence in every run, jump, and game.

At Hillside, learning is personal. Our small class sizes mean every child is seen, supported, and challenged at their own pace.

We cater for high potential and gifted students through specialised enrichment and small group extension programs, alongside exciting STEM opportunities in robotics, coding, and innovation.

Our Yarning Circle is a special space for connection and culture, a place to share stories, listen, and learn together.

Creativity and confidence shine at Hillside. Students enjoy dance, music, and French, along with leadership through SRC, sport, and fitness programs, building skills that go far beyond the classroom.

We pride ourselves on being a safe, caring, and inclusive school where wellbeing comes first, so every child can feel secure, supported, and ready to succeed.

Out-of-area applications are always welcome.
