OUR SCHOOL

Huntingtower is an independent, multi-denominational, co-educational day school for primary and secondary students. It is based on the principles of Christian Science, which emphasise man's spiritual and unlimited nature. Huntingtower sees each child as expressing all the qualities of God, including Truth, Life, Love and infinite intelligence.

Established in 1927 and set in 22 acres of park-like grounds, the school emphasises the importance of the individual student by holding class sizes at 25 and by providing a wide range of activities for student involvement.

In the Huntingtower community, high moral standards are expected. Our students are encouraged to be sensitive to the needs of others and to treat their peers and teachers the way they themselves would choose to be treated.

FACILITIES

The school has been systematically upgraded over the past decade and students now have access to multi-purpose sports centres including a swimming and aquatic centre, a multi purpose Astroturf for hockey and other sports. There is also a purpose built Performing Art Centre, computer centres, an excellent library, specialised VCE and Middle Years Centres and creative arts, technology, food technology and music centres.

CURRICULUM

Every student is encouraged to develop a wide range of academic, cultural, spiritual, physical and social attributes with an understanding that there are no limits. Huntingtower's primary focus is academic, but there are many elective subjects. Vocational courses are also taught and ESL tuition is available if required. A full range of VCE studies is offered and the school is proud of Year 12 tertiary acceptance rates and the quality of its results. Indonesian is taught from Year 1, with Indonesian and French taught throughout secondary levels.

Instrumental and voice tuition, choir and madrigal groups, orchestra, string groups, concert band, drama, dance, debating, photography, Duke of Edinburgh Award and a comprehensive outdoor education program that develops leadership and independence as well as many other skills.
