00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:09.120
As one of the

2
00:00:09.120 --> 00:00:12.360
oldest schools in Australia,
Hutchins has a long tradition

3
00:00:12.360 --> 00:00:15.960
of developing character in boys
with a firm focus on wellbeing.

4
00:00:16.520 --> 00:00:20.320
This is a wonderful place where
our outstanding staff inspire,

5
00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:23.600
challenge and nurture each
boy to be the best he can be

6
00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:26.760
in whatever area his passion lies.

7
00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:29.880
Welcome to the Early Learning Centre.

8
00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:31.520
The thing I really love about

9
00:00:31.520 --> 00:00:34.640
working at Hutchins in the Kindergarten
is coming in every morning

10
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:37.640
and being greeted by
those happy, friendly faces.

11
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:40.200
I really like teaching Year 2.

12
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:43.920
It's really nice watching their
relationships with each other form.

13
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:47.880
The Junior School at Hutchins

14
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:51.240
is an exciting place to be,
an exciting place to work,

15
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:54.240
and our boys love spending time here.

16
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:57.600
Fundamental to everything
we do at Hutchins

17
00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:01.400
is a strong culture of
positivity amongst the boys,

18
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:04.000
kindness,
a real strength of the community,

19
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:06.480
not just the classroom,
but beyond as well.

20
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:10.440
Welcome to the Middle School.

21
00:01:10.440 --> 00:01:13.200
We understand that moving from
a primary setting to a secondary

22
00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:16.200
setting can be really
challenging for young people.

23
00:01:16.600 --> 00:01:20.160
We aim to provide an inclusive environment
where they feel safe and supported.

24
00:01:21.360 --> 00:01:25.080
I usually find that by the end of
Year 8 students are ready to move on.

25
00:01:25.080 --> 00:01:29.240
They've embraced all the opportunities
we've provided them with and

26
00:01:29.240 --> 00:01:32.280
they're ready to take on new adventures
and what lies beyond our Middle School.

27
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:38.360
In the Senior School, students
are in vertical mentor groups.

28
00:01:38.520 --> 00:01:41.160
What that means is that
within each mentor group,

29
00:01:41.160 --> 00:01:44.160
there are students from Year 9
all the way through to Year 12.

30
00:01:44.360 --> 00:01:47.000
The advantage of this is
that there are older students

31
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:50.000
who make great role models for the
younger ones as they move through.

32
00:01:50.440 --> 00:01:51.280
Hutchins provides

33
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:55.800
something for every individual student,
whether it be dance, sports or academics.

34
00:01:55.800 --> 00:01:59.560
We hope that every student finds a
group where they feel they belong and

35
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:00.360
can contribute.

36
00:02:02.240 --> 00:02:03.120
The reason I like

37
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:06.200
being here is because of the
students and families

38
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:09.200
that I've got to know over
the last 25 years.

39
00:02:10.200 --> 00:02:12.560
The boarding house is a
home away from home for the boys,

40
00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:16.160
so they've got some great opportunities
to form some relationships with staff

41
00:02:16.480 --> 00:02:18.520
and other students from
all around the world.

42
00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:20.080
We've got our own little community here.

43
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:23.400
It's a family and we're really proud of
what we've been able to create.

44
00:02:24.440 --> 00:02:27.160
I invite you to explore
our website, learn more

45
00:02:27.160 --> 00:02:29.120
about the diverse opportunities
and innovative

46
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:32.840
programs tailored specifically for boys
that sets Hutchins apart.

47
00:02:33.480 --> 00:02:36.760
While the website will provide an overview
of the opportunities that await,

48
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:40.000
only by visiting the campus,
taking a School tour,

49
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:43.000
and seeing the boys engaged
in these opportunities,

50
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:45.600
will you get a true
sense of this special place

51
00:02:45.600 --> 00:02:50.040
and the strong sense of community
that exists amongst all boys and staff.
