Hillcrest High School is a co-educational secondary school in Kwa-Zulu Natal that has served the local community for almost 50 years. The school offers a wide range of sports, cultural and academic programmes, nurturing the holistic development of learners, and providing an environment in which all learners can become the best they can be. The growth and development of each learner is prioritised by the school community of highly qualified educational, sports and cultural specialists and management professionals.
While learners who excel in academics are extended and encouraged to compete in various programmes such as Olympiads and Expos, those who struggle are supported through extra lessons. Our Learner Support Unit, established in 2006, caters for learners who experience barriers to learning in the mainstream environment, providing the support required to enable each learner to reach their full potential.
At Hillcrest High School we currently offer more than 45 extramural activities from sporting codes such as rugby, soccer, cricket, swimming, softball, and netball, to academic and cultural pursuits including extension and mentorship through the Honours’ Society, debating, drama, photography, and social media journalism. Learners are provided with the opportunity to serve both the school community through involvement in activities such as peer tutoring, first aid or as assistants to our media, audio visual or catering departments, and the wider public through fundraising and community service projects.
The school motto – “If it is to be, it is up to me!” fosters a sense of purpose, encouraging ownership and accountability within the Hillcrest High School community and beyond.
