Inclusive Education

Students at Hillview State School come from diverse backgrounds, identities and abilities. We are committed to providing an inclusive learning environment where every child can access and fully participate in learning alongside their peers. Our teaching and support teams work together to make reasonable adjustments and provide tailored strategies that meet each student’s individual needs. We believe every child deserves the opportunity to succeed—academically, socially and emotionally. ​​​
