Sydney Private Schools introduces Home Hill State School in Home Hill, for all your education and learning needs.

Home Hill State School is a Band 8 school with thirteen (13) classes from Prep to Year 7. It first opened on March 25th 1913 and is the only state primary school in the township of Home Hill.The traditional Indigenous custodians of our land are the Jiru people.

The Bruce Highway passes through the town. By road, Home Hill is approximately ninety-five (95) kilometres, or one (1) hour's drive, south of Townsville and a short ten (10) minute drive across the Burdekin River from its "twin town" of Ayr.

Funds for the operation of the school are granted through Government Core Funds and various Commonwealth and State Grants. The P&C Association provides funding towards the annual school budget to subsidize class excursions and travel associated with sports.

The classrooms of Home Hill State School consist mainly of upgraded traditional single rooms and three double teaching spaces. All teaching spaces are air-conditioned and have the latest ICT technology. The buildings are complemented by many facilities including a tuckshop, a pool, a covered play area, adventure playground equipment and new tennis and basketball courts.

We also have our own broadcast room where we run a our 4HHFM Radio Program during lunch breaks.

The school library is new and well equipped. It contains a computer bank, reading ampitheatre, science kitchen, media room with green screen plus our many books and resources all contained in a spacious, modern environment. Grounds surrounding the buildings, including a main oval of a high standard, are maintained in excellent condition.

In one section of the grounds near the oval, a forest plot shows the range of tree types from rain forest to dry sclerophyll vegetation. Home Hill is the only school in the Burdekin District with a swimming pool.

The school operates a large number of IBM compatible computers in a special computer room, the library and classrooms. The computer room has a bank of 25 on-line computers. Each classroom also has a bank of computers connected to the school server and the web.
