Department of Education Victoria – Heathmont VIC

12h ago , from Department of Education & Training Victoria

At Heathmont East Primary School our vision has a clear purpose; all students are empowered to learn and achieve success; to be curious, engaged, collaborative, empathetic and critical thinkers. We believe that learning is a lifelong journey of growing knowledge and skills through exposure to new information, ideas and concepts across a wide range of curriculum areas.

We are an increasingly multicultural community, with a current student population of 526students. Our students are catered for across 24 classes, with specialist areas of Physical Education, Music/Performing Arts, Japanese, Art, STEAM and Sustainability. We also cater for our EAL students with a dedicated specialist teacher.

School Wide Positive Behaviour Support and Positive Education underpin all aspects of our learning community at HEPS with a whole school focus on our goals:

Respect - `Respect for self, others, and property'

Teamwork - `Working collaboratively and effectively with others to achieve our best'

Resilience - `Flourishing in the face of everyday and challenging situations'

Growth - `Recognising and celebrating social, emotional and academic growth'

We encourage a robust home/school relationship and work together with parents to empower all students to embrace learning, achieve their personal best and build their emotional, social and physical well-being.

Our staff work collaboratively in PLC teams to evaluate student learning data and plan learning experiences that support and encourage students to develop agency in, and a lifelong love of, learning. We have a strong focus on continued professional learning; individually,



in PLC teams and as a whole staff to continually refine our pedagogical practice.

We strive to `Aim High' at HEPS.
