Dear Parents and Carers,
Over the term, staff have been evaluating the
success of the multi-sport program held at East
Hills Public School. Unfortunately this program
will no longer be operating at school. Instead
our teachers will conduct weekly sport skills
and fitness sessions with students. If you have
made payments for terms 2,3 and/or 4 please
be advised that these will be held as fees in
advance and automatically allocated against
other planned school activities such as
excursions or incursions or against any
outstanding fees owing.
Over the term as a whole school community we
have worked closely together to create our
school vision and school plan for 2018-2020.
Our three strategic directions chosen are
Evidence Informed Teaching and Learning,
Connected Communities and Empowered
Learners. Our school leaders are very excited
and very much engaged with the school plan
and look forward to giving you more information
along our three year journey. The vision
statement that we created with school
community input is below.
East Hills Public School Vision Statement
To be an educational centre of excellence where
evidence informed teaching and learning is central
to developing, informed, engaged and self-
regulating citizens who can effectively communicate
and make authentic connections with themselves
and the wider community. Our students are skilled
for living empowered philanthropic lives.
As a whole school community we need to work
hard on developing the general knowledge and
vocabulary of our children. We sometimes
assume they know more than what they
actually do. Our teachers are responsible for
creating relevant and significant learning
experiences which stimulate discussions,
reflection and higher order thinking. Parents
also play an especially important role here.
Dinner table conversations, weekend
excursions, road trips and shared experiences
help build important ‘field knowledge’ for the
students which they draw upon across a range
of subject areas. It is important to remember
that over the upcoming holiday break your
bushwalk in the mountains, the parent – child
muffin baking session, your living room debrief
on what the weather will be tomorrow, or giving
