Hillside School is situated in Browns township 9 kilometers from Winton in Southland. Our wonderful school serves mainly a mixed farming community and families who are associated with related industries in the Browns, Hokonui, Lora Gorge and Springhills areas. We are a full primary school with pupils from Year 1 to Year 8 situated in beautiful grounds with good tree shelter. It has an upgraded community adventure playground and running/activity track.
We have recently undergone a total building upgrade and now have a modern learning environment which is resourced to promote learning that is personalized, student centred, engaging and connected to the real world.
Hillside School has two classrooms which cater for the learning and social needs of students from year one to year eight. We are a small school which prides itself on its family atmosphere, where the older students look after the younger students. As a small school every child gets a chance to take part in a variety of arts and sports events. It is a place of opportunity for all students.
Our focus is on preparing learners for life in a global and ever-changing world. Our teaching begins with the belief that all students can learn and achieve and that teachers can make a difference for all students. At Hillside School, we have high expectations for our students and share these expectations with everyone involved in their learning. Through consultation with our community we endeavour to provide teaching and learning programmes which reflect their priorities.
Visitors are always welcome to visit our wonderful school.
