The Hills Montessori School campuses
Both campuses offer calm, peaceful environments surrounded by nature fostering a respect for the environment .
The short distance between the two campuses is ideal for a number of reasons:
- Easy access for families picking up &/or dropping off siblings
- Short bus ride for the adolescent students to catch a public bus to use the hall & other facilities at Yultiwirra campus
- Close for staff who work at both campuses
- Easy to share and move resources between the two campuses
Extended Campus
The local area and the city of Adelaide are considered as an extended campus – a classroom without walls. Students make use of resources in the local community such as museums, galleries, archives, libraries, sporting facilities, parks and local organisations. Using outside resources is both environmentally friendly (it is a waste of energy and materials to construct facilities that already exist), and serves to embed the school firmly in the community. As students get older and move through the school they become increasingly involved in many off-campus trips, excursions, camps and extended expeditions.
