Our Special Character

---

The Special Character of the school is broadly defined in the Integration Deed. Monitoring of the school’s Special Character is primarily the responsibility of the Proprietors and it is evaluated as part of our five year plan of review as well as being monitored annually through a review that is undertaken by the Board of Trustees. Each year one of our goals for our Annual Plan contains a goal pertaining to our Special Character. The Special Character of our school forms the rationale for the school’s existence and is central to the operation of the school. All learning, curriculum development, implementation of the National Education and Administration Guidelines, National Education Priorities and National Curriculum Framework is underpinned and impacted by our Special Character. The following are taken from our integration deed.

Hillview Christian School is a community where strong, caring relationships are fostered. We are focused on the development of character and each pupil is encouraged to develop responsible attitudes and self-discipline. For children today, heading though teen years to adulthood is a challenge that needs staff who care and are skilled at communicating realistic boundaries and conduct. Provision of a secure and loving environment will help students during their most impressionable years.
