Chatswood Hills School is situated in six hectares of very attractive grounds. The school community spends many hours and funds to enhance the school grounds. Classroom activities often have an environmental theme and children are very much aware of the importance of protecting our environment. The school also has a Project Club which focuses on establishing gardens to provide homes and food for local fauna. Learnscape areas have been established outside the classrooms so teachers and students can utilise these learning areas. |

A strong extra-curricular program operates in the school. The school participates in interschool sport for boys and girls and has a busy intraschool program for all children. A variety of interschool sports are played such as softball, tennis, cricket, soccer and netball. In addition, our Instrumental Music Program supports a band, choir, and strings ensemble.

The Parents & Citizens Association and staff work together to provide resources and an educational climate that allows children to work to their potential. A strong middle management approach facilitates decisions through the committees such as the Management Committee and the Curriculum Committee. The community works together to organise school functions, extra curricular activities and provide assistance in the classroom. |
