Here at Hilton…
Kaya,
2024 at Hilton Primary School has been a happily productive year with many highlights, including whole of community events, student achievement and progress, school growth and future planning.
As “a great place to learn and grow” the positive outcomes for 2024 are the result of the efforts and engagement by:
- Our 370 Kindergarten to Year 6 children
- Our 52 diligent and caring staff
- Our highly engaged and supportive families.
This is the final year of our strategic, Plan for Growth: 2021-2024.
We have continued to strengthen our consistent and connect teaching practice for improved learning outcomes, our positive school culture and our intentional actions for Reconciliation. We further developed our beautiful grounds for nature-based, sustainable teaching, learning and play.
The successful refinement of our Inside Out philosophy and practice in Kindergarten and Pre Primary has been another highlight of 2024: “Everything we teach inside a classroom, we can teach outside.”
When Hilton PS students are asked what they love about our school, they comment on our trees, friends and their kind teachers. This is the spirit in which we completed 2024 and strived to ensure “Every child’s learning is nurtured every day”.
Through ongoing collaborative efforts and input from our Hilton PS School Board, staff and students; we are moving towards our next strategic plan: Growing Stronger Together 2025-2028. Our next Public School review is scheduled for Term 3, 2025. We look forward to detailing the effective leadership by Hilton teachers and celebrating the positive impact of ongoing connection and collaboration between Hilton PS staff.
As well as our supportive families, our Hilton PS Board, Parents and Citizens Association (P & C), Grounds Committee, Aboriginal Families Group, Curriculum Leadership Team; and our German, French & English Playgroups, continued to enrich our school. Each of these groups contributes to our positive culture and school outcomes.
We are looking forward to welcoming 390 students and their families for the 2025 school year.
