“Having close connections with our parents, staff and community, is integral to a rich learning environment. When we work together, we can achieve amazing things”

Karen Yager, Hills Grammar

“I believe that students learn in a supportive environment with passionate and inspiring teachers and staff. We surround our students with positive creative and inspiring people, enthusiastic about their own learning and keen to immerse students in the spirit of life-long learning across the whole community”

Karen Yager, Hills Grammar

Since 1867, Westbourne Grammar School has helped students think deeply, grow with confidence and make a meaningful difference in the world. Across two campuses in Truganina and Williamstown, more than 2,000 students from 70 nationalities and 35 faith backgrounds learn in a place where diversity, ambition and belonging matter. Westbourne’s ‘Inspire’ learning philosophy ensures students don’t just absorb knowledge – they build the critical thinking, emotional intelligence and ethical awareness to navigate a complex world. Learning at Westbourne is active, hands-on and immersive. Students don’t just study mathematics; they become mathematicians by solving real problems. They don’t just explore the arts; they become artists through experimentation and expression. And when they play music, they are musicians – performing, creating and refining their craft with passion and purpose. Great teachers are at the heart of this environment. Westbourne invests in its educators with sector-leading conditions: leadership development programs, fully funded overseas fellowships, postgraduate study support and flexible work policies. This commitment to growth and wellbeing helps attract and retain passionate, high-performing staff who inspire every learner. Graduates leave not only with strong academic results, but with the confidence and skills to lead with purpose.

Learning designed for educators The centrepiece of Hills Grammar’s approach to staff development is its Professional Learning Model, led by director of professional learning Dr. Chris Furner. Grounded in adult learning pedagogies, aligned with the school’s strategic intent and staff profile and standards, the model deliberately moves away from compliance-driven professional development towards something more meaningful. This is delivered as learning that is authentic, research-based and tailored to where each educator is in their career journey. Supporting this is the Learning Centre Staff Program, which creates structured opportunities for staff to share practice, reflect on their work and learn from one another. Mentoring, leadership development and action research opportunities are embedded throughout, making professional growth a continuous and collegial practice rather than a periodic obligation. It is a model that reflects Hills Grammar’s commitment to investing in the people responsible for delivering its educational vision. Future-forward leadership The school’s commitment to its team extends to how Hills Grammar approaches leadership. Working in partnership with the governing council, school leaders maintain a shared focus on developing what the school describes as a ‘future fit’ graduate and the workforce equipped to teach them. Innovation is encouraged, and the culture is one where academic ambition and professional development are seen as inseparable. Wellbeing in a remarkable setting Staff also benefit from complimentary wellbeing programs, a genuine commitment to work-life balance and access to an Employee Assistance Program. Additionally, for educators who value a workplace where the physical environment itself is part of the daily experience, Hills Grammar’s picturesque campus offers a setting that is as restorative as it is inspiring. There is also a proactive approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), such that employees are informed and educated through integrated professional learning frameworks. Hills Grammar is proud to be actively shaping bold thinkers, and in turn empowering the people who teach them.
