Harkaway Hills College is an independent school teaching the Catholic faith.
We offer co-educational Pre-prep to Grade 2, and single sex girl’s classes from Grade 3 to 12.
The College is a project of the Parents for Education (PARED) Victoria Foundation, and is founded on the principles that parents are the primary educators of their children. This support is found in the quality of the academic curriculum, in the way that staff work with students and parents in a unique mentoring program, in the emphasis on character development and virtues in the curriculum, and in the concern that staff and peer example be fully positive and supportive of parents. Home and school are united. There is ongoing support for parents also through a variety of programs designed to assist parents to be more effective.
We place great emphasis on the development of virtues, the building blocks of character. Selected from the teaching staff of the school each student receives a personal mentor, who is a constant source of support with example, advice and friendship. The mentor meets regularly with the student and parents helping with goal setting and coordinating the services of the College on the parents’ behalf.
