Why do students in small schools succeed?
The school works like a big family in many ways. The children mix with older and younger peers in and out of the classroom.
It allows them to develop wonderful peer relationships, they have great respect for each other, their teachers and they take great pride in the Hillside Public School.
“I just wanted to say how happy it made me feel to know that there is such a good morale at Hillside between all the children.”
With fewer students in each class, meaningful connections between teachers and students can emerge from day one. Trust can be built and a mutual understanding of each other can happen. Teachers are able to get to know each student’s individual capabilities and can spend more time focusing on what each student needs to succeed, how to keep them excited and engaged, and can determine the areas where they may need extra support.
