Welcome to Chatswood Hills State School.
As Principal, I am incredibly proud of our school and the community we serve. Chatswood Hills is a place where students are known, supported and challenged to achieve their very best.
Established in 1983, our school has a strong history of putting students first and maximising every learner's potential. We are committed to academic excellence, developing leadership, and fostering values that extend well beyond the classroom. Through innovation and collaboration, we work to ensure every student has a clear pathway to success. At Chatswood Hills, High Performance Teaching and Learning is at the centre of everything we do.
We pride ourselves on providing a warm, supportive environment where every child can grow with confidence. This is underpinned by our four C's—Care, Consideration, Cooperation and Common Sense—and guided by our motto, Always our Best. These are not just words; they shape our culture, expectations and the way we work together as a school community.
Our focus on preparing students for the future is reflected in our commitment to the 6C's: Communication, Creativity, Collaboration, Critical Thinking, Citizenship and Character. As a long-standing BYO iPad school, we embrace the opportunities technology provides to enhance learning and connection. Our Deep Learning Vision—to empower students to use the 6C's to make a difference and create a better world together—captures our shared purpose.
Chatswood Hills is a school of high expectations—across learning, behaviour and presentation. We believe these expectations support students to succeed, and we work in partnership with families to ensure every child understands and strives toward these standards.
Strong partnerships between staff, students and families are central to our success. We value the involvement of parents and carers in school life and are fortunate to have a highly supportive Parents and Citizens Association. Your engagement and contribution help strengthen our community and enrich opportunities for our students.
Our staff are deeply committed to ensuring every student achieves their potential—no matter what it takes. It is this collective commitment that makes Chatswood Hills such a special place. Most importantly, our students tell us they feel safe, they feel happy, and they know they are learning.
I look forward to working in partnership with you as part of the Chatswood Hills community.
Warm regards,
Michael Richards
Principal
