Hillbrook was founded on 31 May 1986. The school officially opened for the 1987 school year, providing three Year 8 classes in 1991. The school's original buildings were an orphanage before becoming a school. These buildings now house Science, Languages/Geography, Home Economics classrooms and computer labs. Each year level consists of four home classes, named by the colours red, white, blue and green.
The school's development has seen significant building activity, most significantly with the addition of a Performing Arts Complex in 2003(refurbished in 2014), in 2006 the Tree of Life Chapel (which coincided with the school's 20th anniversary) in 2009 a new library complex, in 2010 the Science classrooms were updated. 2014 sees significant building work continue with a new two-story building housing the Year 7 precinct and purpose-built Maths classrooms for Years 8 to 12.
With the introduction of Year 7 in 2015 the school's student population will average approximately 720 students.
The school was started by a small group of people, including past headmaster Norm Hunter, and his original co-principal, John Lindsay. Father Clarrie White was also part of this foundation group, along with Mrs Julie Lindsay and Mrs Rae Hunter.
In 2008, Mr Geoff Newton, the deputy principal of Hillbrook, took over the role of principal following the retirement of Mr Norm Hunter.
The current leadership team at Hillbrook consists of 1 principal, 2 deputy principals and 1 business manager.
Most of the buildings at the school were designed by Brand and Slater Architects.
