Our College
Hillcrest Christian College is located within a tranquil bushland setting, on 10 hectares of land in Reedy Creek on the Gold Coast. We have made a significant investment into our student facilities, and recently completed a number of major building works which have completely transformed our facilities, to provide our students with the best possible educational and cocurricular experiences.
Our Junior Learning Community students enjoy newly-completed facilities, which were specifically designed with age-appropriate learning spaces in mind. These include our Castle classrooms, and Years 5 - 6 Precinct.
This new learning environment incorporates our Linda Richmond Prep Centre and Years 1-2 Castle classrooms, and features exterior sandstone walls and Castle turrets, coupled with vibrant aesthetics and innovative open-plan learning spaces. The Castle provides an inspirational environment which has quickly captured the imagination, curiosity and creativity of our youngest students, and features:
This exciting new facility promotes a strong focus on Design-Centred Learning (DCL), to engage students in authentic tasks that solve real-world problems. The Precinct is an innovative, purpose-built environment that inspires excitement and interactive learning, and features:
Our Senior Learning Community facilities have been extensively renovated with refurbishments to many classrooms and common areas, equipping students with state-of-the-art technologies and adaptable spaces for a variety of individual and collaborative projects. Our senior students now enjoy:
Our Resource Centre (library) is more than just a facility and provides an important service to our students and our wider College community. The Centre is staffed by friendly and supportive librarians, who offer a comprehensive array of library services in our modern, bright and well-equipped facilities, which include:
Open from 7.45am, Monday - Friday, for students in Years 3 - 12.
Open until 4.30pm, Monday - Friday, for students in Years 4 - 12.
Students in Year 3 or under are welcome to use the library after school but only accompanied by a supervising parent/adult. Students in Year 4 or above may use the library without a parent after school until closing time, as long as they are able to engage in quiet activities which do not disturb the other students who are using the library.
There are a range of activities which are available most days for students to choose from if they have completed homework or assignments which include reading, chess, board games, Maker Space activities (some days), arts and crafts, puzzles, or helping the Librarians with small jobs.
In late 2018, we completed our Library Bus for our youngest learners in the Castle Precinct. The decommissioned Hillcrest school bus was relocated to the site at the Castle, fully renovated and fitted with books and other literature, and comfortable reading spaces for our Prep - Year 2 students to enjoy.
In 2021 The Bus Library has since evolved and developed with a large deck and classroom which is used for both music and library lessons.
We also provide a Street Library open all day outside The Hub canteen which is stocked with magazines, daily newspapers, and literature books for students, parents, and guests to browse.
