Hilton College
Traditional and contemporary
Hilton College aims to be deeply traditional and refreshingly contemporary. This necessitates much conversation among all stakeholders as to how this is achieved and celebrated. The world has become a fast-changing place and young men of the future will need to be grounded in their person, with enduring values firmly established, such that they are in a position to embrace and conquer the challenges of the future.
At the heart of this goal is a plan for every boy who attends Hilton. It is the school’s endeavour to know every boy; to challenge him both individually and as a member of a team; to stretch him in formulating his opinions and world-view; and to ensure he gives of his best consistently. To this end, Hilton has high expectations of each boy. At the end of his years at Hilton College, he should be a determined, persistent and humble young man, ready to tackle the next phase of his life and equipped to make his mark in whatever he chooses to pursue.
At the gates to Hilton, the following is inscribed and it captures the heart of this place:
“Enter these gates with humility, determined to contribute to, and to take advantage of, all that this institution offers, and depart knowing that you are well equipped to forge your future in the world.”
As Hilton College approaches the 150th anniversary of its founding in 2022, the school community is more excited than ever about how Hilton can make a positive contribution to our country and our continent.
