Welcome to the Essex Heights website. Here you will find information about our school and the wide range of programs we have on offer.
At Essex Heights we provide a high quality education that is inclusive, differentiated and focussed upon the changing needs of our students. Importantly, we are preparing and empowering students for meaningful and responsible involvement in a changing global society.
Through our core values of respect, integrity, optimism and inclusiveness children develop positive attitudes and acquire skills that equip them for their future. All students are valued and nurtured within a safe, caring and stimulating school environment. Each child is encouraged, supported and inspired to reach his / her potential. Importantly through the provision of a diverse team of highly capable teaching professionals children develop a zest and interest for life long learning.
Through strong and enduring partnerships the whole community encourages and champions high expectations in all areas of school endeavour. The school promotes innovative and contemporary curriculum choices, differentiated to cater for the needs of all students. Our staff together with our parents engender a culture of connectedness and creativity as opportunities are sought and provided in a dynamic manner to create authentic experience.
Currently the school is excited and expectant about its inclusion in the Building Futures Program and its provision of exemplary educational facilities to match the school community expectations and aspirations for our students’ futures. Buildings works began onsite over the Christmas holiday period with the first stage of this regeneration program. This is due for completion in October 2011 when we will move into a new Administration area and sixteen architect designed, purpose built classrooms that complete Stage 1.
We are also excited about the recent opening of our new sports and music complex that has been funded under the Federal Government's 'Building the Education Revolution' program. This wonderful facility will accomodate both our Music and Physical Education specialist programs and will further enhance what are already quality programs within our school.
I invite you to phone the Office if you are interested in joining our school community, and we will be happy to arrange a tour.
