History
Hillpark was created from the merger of two schools, Sir John Maxwell Secondary School and Strathbungo Secondary School. The building opened in 1967.[3]
From 1987 to 2006, Hillpark had a Gaelic unit providing Gaelic medium education to pupils. This existed until the opening of the Glasgow Gaelic School.[4][5]
In 2023 students from the school went to visit and assist Chilangoma primary school in Chileka in Malawi in support of a Classrooms for Malawi project.[6]
Facilities
The school has a swimming pool, fitness suite, football pitch, games hall, library and a drama studio. There are also eight computer labs.
A significant feature of the school is the Autism Unit, also known as the Language and Communication Resource (LCR).[7] Pupils identified as having an autism spectrum disorder are predominantly taught within mainstream classes with the support of LCR staff.[8]
