The CREST Educational Precinct is located on 138 acres in Melbourne’s southeast, bringing together Hillcrest Christian College, Rivercrest Christian College, Ayr Hill Equestrian Centre, and an Environmental Reserve. Set amongst an expansive 138 acres, natural bushland and purpose-built facilities, CREST offers a unique environment where students can learn, thrive and discover their God-given potential.
A leading provider of Christian education in Victoria, Hillcrest and Rivercrest Christian Colleges are independent, interdenominational, co-educational and open-enrolment schools serving more than 2,500 students. At the heart of everything we do is a commitment to Christian faith, values and character.
Hillcrest delivers a nurturing Reggio Emilia approach in Early Learning before transitioning to the Victorian Curriculum in the Primary and Secondary Years. Rivercrest is an authorised International Baccalaureate World School, offering the IB Early Years Program in Early Learning before transitioning to the Primary Years Programme (PYP) and Middle Years Programme (MYP), cultivating curiosity, inquiry and a love of learning.
In Years 11 and 12, students from both colleges come together in the Senior Learning Precinct, with access to a broad range of pathways, including VCE, VCE Vocational Major and the internationally recognised IB Diploma Programme.
Ayr Hill Equestrian Centre provides a specialist equine studies programme from Year 5 through to the senior years, offering students a distinctive and hands-on learning experience.
The Environmental Reserve comprises more than 19 acres of bushland and waterways with over 19,000 native trees, creating a living classroom that inspires exploration, environmental stewardship and a deeper appreciation of God's creation.
