Welcome to Hawkesbury Independent School
Hawkesbury Independent School is a small co-educational school for children from Kindergarten to Year 6. It is situated at Kurrajong and offers a positive alternative for children and parents in the Hawkesbury area. Our school is based on a strong sense of community. We have developed a supportive and nurturing atmosphere where all children look out for each other and where parents are invited to be part of the life of the school. Active learning describes our school activities, both inside and outside the classroom. While the learning program is very structured and covers all the requirements of the New South Wales curriculum, the activities are stimulating, ‘hands-on’ and active. The learning programs and teaching strategies that are implemented are based on sound research and evidence.
As a small primary school, Hawkesbury Independent School encourages the development of strong caring relationships between children, teachers and parents. This is vital to ensure that school is an enjoyable and worthwhile experience for all involved.
This website is designed to acquaint you with our school and to answer questions you may have about the policies and practices within the school.
To find out more about our school organise a school tour and meet with our principal, ring 02 4573 2218 or find us on Facebook.

As a former student there, HIS offers great academic focus, It focuses on independency and growth through learning. The students are friendly and the teachers are amazing.

Our kids loved this beautiful little country school. Forward thinking, and student focused. Our children's academic abilities progressed so much throughout their time there. Highly recommend, especially if you are sick of your children being swallowed up by larger class numbers, and minimised personalised development experienced in most schools these days.

Without doubt this school is the best decision we ever made . Its small class sizes and focus on academic outcomes through hands on learning provides a truly unique and engaging educational experience. Seeing our child excited to be at school everyday not only for his friends, but because he wants to learn is truly inspirational. Thankyou HIS.

I could not be happier with this amazing little school. My girls are flourishing and run out the door everyday to go. Their approach is a little unique but everyday is so different fun and exciting. The families that attend are also kind and caring.
