Cultural development

Our cultural activities range from choir, steel drums, drama, art club to a school newspaper, debating club and Word Sessions which allows students to express themselves through poetry and rap. From our highly successful debating team to our talented artists to our immensely entertaining school plays, Hillcrest High School excels across the cultural spectrum.

Leadership training and development

Hillcrest High School provides an environment that allows our young leaders to grow and mature, learning from each other and from the example of their teacher mentors. All grade 11 students have the opportunity to attend a leadership camp, and the grade 12 Student Leadership Team (SLT) attend two leadership camps in their grade 12 year. In addition, we participate in the Rotary Youth Exchange Programme and the Global Young Leaders Conference.

 Interact

Community awareness

Service is a cornerstone of the holistic education Hillcrest High School offers. People to People, Interact and The Margaret Turnbull Project are just a few of the community upliftment projects that the school is involved with. The Angel Fund is an internal project designed to assist the learners in the school.
