The Hutchins School is an Anglican day and boarding school for boys from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12. The School was established in 1846 in memory of The Venerable William Hutchins, first Archdeacon of Van Diemen’s Land, and is one of the oldest continually running schools in Australia. We have a strong sense of tradition that instils in our students and staff an appreciation for the history of the School and what it means to be a part of the Hutchins community.
Our Vision is to provide an inspirational education where each boy strives to achieve his personal best and is willing to serve his community as an informed and active citizen; locally, nationally and globally. Our Mission is to provide a supportive and learning community that works together to build character of boys.
We undertake a partnership with families to Build Good Men who aspire to be our future leaders and who will continue on to serve their global community.
Situated in Sandy Bay, only 5 kilometres from the Hobart city centre, The Hutchins School offers outstanding facilities including modern classrooms, science and computer laboratories, three libraries, a performing arts centre, multiple sporting grounds, a chapel and the student residence.
Hutchins has a proud history of outstanding academic success. Our students consistently rank in the highest academic achievers within the state and nationally, this includes 24 Rhodes Scholars.
We have an expansive co-curricular program on offer including Music, Performing Arts, Debating, Sports and the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award. The School offers a unique Power of 9 program which aims to encourage students in developing the skills, passion, the positive attitudes, values and knowledge necessary for planning a pathway to being successful through Years 10, 11, 12 and beyond.
Hutchins students also benefit from a unique co-operating schools model where students from Years 11 and 12 are able to attend subjects at our sister school St Michael’s Collegiate and our co-operating school Fahan School. This provides students with the best of both worlds from a socialisation and subject availability perspective.
Why choose Hutchins?
We partner with our community to Build Good Men who become our future leaders and who will serve their global community. We do this by:
Learning at The Hutchins School is about building good men. Our learning philosophy is based on the principle that we value and celebrate the individuality of each student. Learning programs are structured to guide the students in the development of their values, knowledge, understanding and skills, and to prepare them for experiences beyond the classroom. At Hutchins we aim to build men who act with integrity, communicate effectively, are compassionate, creative, life-long learners, and global citizens.
The Hutchins School curriculum is informed by the Australian Curriculum and is embedded in the Learning Areas, Cross Curriculum Priorities and General Capabilities as described by the Australian Curriculum Assessment and Reporting Authority. The teaching and learning programs of the School are developed in the context of a set of principles which are drawn directly from and set firmly in the Guiding Statements of our school.
