The Hutchins School, colloquially known as Hutchins, is an Anglican, day and boarding school for boys from pre-kindergarten to Year 12 in Hobart, Tasmania. Established in 1846, Hutchins is one of the oldest continuously operating schools in Australia.
Hutchins is a founding-member of the International Boys' Schools Coalition (IBSC), and a member of Independent Schools Tasmania (IST). The Hutchins School is also a member of Round Square.
The Hutchins School was established in 1846 at Hobart Town in memory of The Venerable William Hutchins, first Archdeacon of Van Diemen's Land. Arriving in the colony in 1837, Archdeacon Hutchins had worked to establish a faithful ministry, erecting churches and schools and laying the foundation for secondary education under the auspices of the Church of England.
The school commenced operations under Headmaster John Richard Buckland at Ingle Hall, a large Georgian house dating back to 1811 which still stands in lower Macquarie Street, Hobart. Three years later it moved several blocks up Macquarie Street to a purpose-built schoolhouse designed by Tasmanian architect, William Archer.
In the early days, Hutchins survived by absorbing pupils, staff, and plant of other institutions, including Christ's College (1846–1912), The High School (1850–65), Horton College (1855–93) and Officer College (1888–1900). When Hutchins joined forces with Christ's College in 1912 it was the signal for Arthur A. Stephens to close Queen's College, founded by him in 1893, and accept the post of vice-master of Hutchins. In 1905 Hutchins amalgamated with Buckland's School, opened in 1893 by William Harvey Buckland, son of founding headmaster J. R. Buckland and brother of second headmaster John Vansittart Buckland. Hutchins would go on to absorb King's Grammar School (1907), Franklin House School (1917) and Apsley House School (1928), and affiliate with Gryce (1934) and Gladwyn (1937) Schools.
By the 1950s the school was growing too large for its inner-city site and in 1957 a new Junior School was built on an elevated site overlooking the River Derwent at Sandy Bay. This followed the opening at the Sandy Bay site of a sub-primary section in 1946 and the War Memorial Oval and DB Memorial Pavilion in 1955. The Senior School was later constructed on the adjacent site of the former Queenborough Cemetery, following a council referendum in which ratepayers voted '1 for educational purposes' in 1960. As part of this arrangement the council committed to pay for 1,900 bodies to be exhumed from the cemetery with the school funding all other exhumations. As of 2024, it is unclear how many bodies were actually exhumed by the council. By 1964 the Senior School campus encompassed a Boarding House (Burbury House), the Foster Science Wing and the Erwin Science Wing, quickly followed by an administration block and classrooms, later followed by the Ray Vincent Humanities Wing, while the Junior School campus across the road soon expanded to include a fledgling Middle School. The Macquarie Street building was sold in 1965, with Hutchins commencing full operations at Sandy Bay the following year. In the following decades, The Hutchins School expanded to include the Palfreyman Gymnasium, the Chapel of St Thomas, the Terence Butler Auditorium,the Middle School Megaquad and the John Bednall Centre for Learning Support (renamed to the John Bednall Centre for Excellence in 2014).
The Hutchins School has undertaken a number of campus expansions and redevelopment projects.
Chris Rae Building - Named in honour of former teacher and Head of Senior School Chris Rae, the wing was constructed as part of the Middle School’s campus expansion to accommodate the inclusion of the Year 6 cohort in 2022. The building provides four classrooms, a multipurpose space, an amphitheatre, offices, and dedicated breakout areas, as well as specialised dance and drama studios.
NJ Edwards Hub - The NJ Edwards Hub is named in honour of NJ Edwards. The facility is now the central hub of the School, Its main feature is a large auditorium capable of accommodating the entire School for assemblies, performances, and major events, alongside a foyer displaying artworks and memorabilia. The Hub also includes two multi-purpose indoor courts for basketball, volleyball and badminton, a weights and cardio room, and planned Stage 3 additions such as an indoor swimming pool and an underground car park for around 120 vehicles. In addition, it provides meeting rooms and classrooms, and features an underpass linking the Senior and Middle School areas.
The school runs an extensive co-curricular program offering music, performing arts, debating, sports, and dance. Students from Years 7-12 choose a sport for Term 1/4 (summer sports) and Term 2/3, to participate in after school. Inter-school debating is available from Year 5 to Year 12, with the Year 5s and 6s in one group and the Year 7s and 8s in another. Debating usually begins around March, and participating students debate every second week, at various schools across Hobart. Music at Hutchins is also another co-curricular choice. with Strings Groups, Bands, Concert Bands, Jazz Bands, Chamber Groups, Ensembles and Choir/Vocal Groups on offer. Private music tutoring is available at an additional cost. Performing Arts are available for all students from Prep, with Dance, being the most popular within Performing Arts. Dance programs include

In March 2024, two graves were found during earthworks for a new building at the school, the NJ Edwards Hub. An archaeology team was brought in and 1,973 human remains were exhumed upon completion of the project in late 2024. It is believed to be the largest mass exhumation ever undertaken in Australia. Due to poor management of the former cemetery it was difficult to identify the remains. 1,717 out of 1,973 of the bodies were identified. The remains were reinterred at the Cornelian Bay Cemetery. It is believed that hundreds of bodies remain buried under school property.
