Informality with Dignity

“One of the great things about being part of the Hillbrook community is its relaxed and respectful approach to ceremonies. From our early years there has been a belief that this “informality with dignity” is a significant contributor to the quality learning and community building that takes place within our school.

Some schools may often feel very formal, but I believe that when informality and dignity come together we achieve deeper connections. If we consider what ‘informality with dignity’ might look like, then relationships founded on ethical beaviour; respect; real meaningfu connectios; and understanding and care, would surely be key descriptors.

And if understanding and cooperation are practised daily, without foraml distance of position and hierarchy, then relationships will be even more immediate, powerful and real for students and staff.”

– Geoff Newton (Principal)

…a place where people share high levels of trust and respect for one another.

Community is a fundamental human need, and like balance, is in danger of being lost in western society. Research supports a link between communal school values and students’ academic achievements. We strive to embody in the school’s culture, for students, staff and parents, a sense of community; a place where people share high levels of trust and respect for one another.
