The Hills Sports High School

Australia Private Schools introduces The Hills Sports High School in Seven Hills, for all your education and learning needs.

The Hills Sports High School provides both a comprehensive secondary education and a focussed sports development program for students in Western Sydney. Approximately half of the total enrolment of 950 students attend in order to foster their elite sporting talents whilst completing their secondary education in an academic framework. The local students attending also benefit from the extensive selection of subjects taught in a environment encompassing state of the art facilities such as the library, computer rooms, swimming centre, fitness centre, soccer field, cricket nets and rugby field to name a few. The Talented Sports Program (TSP) is designed to offer elite coaching and a comprehensive secondary curriculum enabling them to reach both their academic and sporting potential in a caring environment. Classes are also formed for students with particular talent in their academic subjects where extension work is covered by highly competent teaching staff. Entrance to these classes in Year 7 is based on reports from primary school whilst in the other years it is based on results achieved at this school or as provided in reports from other high schools. A highly successful support unit forms another part of the school in which a comprehensive education program is provided for students with an intellectual disability. These students are taught by specialist teachers in a nurturing environment. Placement of students in this unit is via a placement panel conducted by the Department of Education. Parental and community support ensures continued good results for our students in all areas of endeavour. The links to neighbouring Primary ensure smooth transition for local students into our school. Transition activities for all new students assist them to become a part of our school quickly and with ease. The curriculum structure enables an extensive range of elective courses to be offered in Year s 9 & 10 along with a comprehensive pattern of study for our Year 11 & 12 students while Year 7 & 8 follow a fixed curriculum pattern encompassing all areas of the school. Students are supported by a comprehensive welfare team and also a Learning Support Team enabling us to target resources to those with particular needs. Independent learning is fostered and supported by our learning centre and qualified staff. Each sport is support by a teacher mentor to assist students to maintain workload and to deal with study and sporting commitments.
