Hillvue Public School
Hillvue Public School serves a diverse community in south Tamworth. The school receives strong support from its Parents and Citizens Association, the local Aboriginal Education Consultative Group and local community organisations. The school was invited to be a Schools in Partnership school in 2006. An experienced staff and supportive community work continuously to implement programs to develop the skills of our students. In 2008 the school received an Excellence in Aboriginal Education award for its exemplary practices in addressing the learning and well-being needs of its students. There are strong links between the school and the indigenous members of the community, links which are supported by outstanding programs that foster a deeper understanding of Aboriginal culture. In 2008 the school was also selected to receive the Director-General's School Achievement Award for Student Welfare and in 2009 the school received the NSW Nanga Mai Award for Outstanding School. The Governor of NSW, Her Excellency, Professor Marie Bashir, wrote following a visit : 'There is a wonderful, inclusive atmosphere at the school,which is a model for children everywhere - this is a most impressive school'.
