Can my child go here?
This school has an enrolment scheme, so a place is not open to every address. How enrolment zones work
Loading zone map…
Zone boundaries shown here are approximate. Ministry of Education data warns these boundaries do not have high spatial precision and can place neighbouring addresses on different sides of a line. This is not a confirmation of enrolment eligibility — always confirm directly with the school. Zone geometry also does not reflect enrolment priority rules (siblings, special character categories, ballots) — it shows the mapped boundary only.

What did ERO find?
The Education Review Office reviews every school and publishes what it finds in full. We quote ERO’s report here, section by section, in ERO’s own words and order, and link to it. We do not summarise a report, pick a line out of one, or turn one into a score. How ERO reviews schools

- Board assurance
- The board attested to all areas (6 March 2024)
A board assurance statement is the board’s own account of whether it took all reasonable steps to meet its legal obligations, on the date shown. It is not ERO’s finding. ERO reports separately, in the same report, on any non-compliance it identified during that process.
The board assurance report of 6 March 2024 carries no actions-for-compliance section — the section ERO uses when it names non-compliance it identified. That is what this report contains; it is not ERO saying it found none. Other reports ERO holds for this school may say something different.
The roll ERO recorded, and when
ERO writes a roll into each report it publishes: a count taken for that report, on the day shown, by the review team that was there. The Ministry of Education’s current roll for this school is 548 — the figure at the top of this page, and the one to use for how big the school is now. These are a different measurement by a different body, so they will rarely agree, and a difference between them is not a change in the school.

What ERO wrote in its latest report
This is ERO’s report of 6 March 2024 — “Te Ara Huarau | School Profile Report” — section by section, under ERO’s own headings, in ERO’s own order. Nothing is summarised, shortened or reordered.
Background
This Profile Report was written within 13 months of the Education Review Office and Hillview Christian School working in Te Ara Huarau , an improvement evaluation approach used in most English Medium State and State Integrated Schools. For more information about Te Ara Huarau see ERO’s website. www.ero.govt.nz
Context
Hillview Christian School is a state integrated Years 1 to 10 school in Christchurch. The school operates on two adjacent sites as a senior and junior campus. The school’s vision is: ‘To grow young people who love God and impact others through service and leadership’. The school’s mission is ‘To provide a quality education in a Christian environment where children can develop their God-given abilities’.
Hillview Christian School ’s strategic priorities for improving outcomes for learners include:
providing a quality curriculum programme, in a Christian context, which fosters high achievement and maximises the potential of each pupil
providing an environment which promotes the physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing of all pupils
encouraging co-curricular activities which enhance pupil development and foster individual and team excellence and cooperation.
You can find a copy of the school’s strategic and annual plan on Hillview Christian School ’s website.
ERO and the school are working together to evaluate the impact of school-wide teaching and learning on learner progress.
The rationale for selecting this evaluation is:
leaders want teachers to have greater knowledge of the impact of their teaching strategies on learner progress
there is scope for learners to know more about their own progress in aspects of their learning
leaders want to foster and develop across the whole school, a way of thinking and collective responsibility in relation to learner progress
the school sees learners striving for excellence as a key priority.
The school expects to see:
leaders, teachers, and learners having a greater understanding of progress in their learning
a common language around progress to be understood and used throughout the school
seamless transitions to occur for students as they move through the school
equitable opportunities and resourcing for all learners to be successful.
Strengths
The school can draw from the following strengths to support it in its goal to support personal excellence.
A Christian environment which empowers learners through delivering a curriculum which prioritises service, leadership, respect, gratitude, equity provision and support.
A caring and compassionate school culture which identifies gifts and talents, where positive relationships underpin all interactions, providing for a strong sense of belonging for all in the school community.
Strong relational trust that exists between leaders, teachers, staff and members of the school community that enriches opportunities for students to be successful as learners.
A culture of high expectations and strong academic success for all (including for those students who need to make accelerated progress) to support aspirations for excellence.
Where to next?
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
extending students’ understanding of their progress, next steps, and learning
continuing to strengthen the evaluation of the impact of teaching and learning on students’ progress.
ERO’s role will be to support the school in its evaluation for improvement cycle to improve outcomes for all learners. ERO will support the school in reporting their progress to the community. The next public report on ERO’s website will be a Te Ara Huarau | School Evaluation Report and is due within three years.

ERO reviews a school every few years — around four years between reviews is the usual cycle — so an older date here reflects where a school sits in that cycle, not how it is doing.
