Emu Heights Public School

Nestled in the foothills of the beautiful Blue Mountains west of Sydney, Emu Heights Public School enjoys beautiful, spacious grounds in a well–maintained park–like setting. Opened in 1972 with a student population of just 69, the school has grown to become a modern centre of learning with outstanding programs and resources. Our current enrolment is just over 300 students with 12 classes. Our school prides itself on its positive family atmosphere and is highly regarded by the local community as a friendly, caring school and inclusive in which personal excellence is nurtured and valued. Our students consistently demonstrate cooperative, positive approach to learning and each other and embrace cultural diversity. Currently we have 5% of students who identify as Aboriginal. The integration of STEM education, project based learning and IT skills are embedded in teaching and learning across our future focused curriculum. We also enjoy a modern IT infrastructure and access to a range of technology to support teaching and learning. A wide range of student welfare programs support student well–being including Bounce back, Peer Support, Leadership opportunities, Kindergarten Buddies, Child Protection. Bike Safety, Life Education and Interrelate. We also offer a wide range of extra curricular activities, particularly in sport and the performing arts areas of dance, music, choir, debating and public speaking and our annual talent quest. In addition, Education Week celebrations, NAIDOC Day activities, Young Leaders Day, the school vegetable garden and chess club ensure a rich tapestry of learning opportunities for our students. Significant in every program and initiative is the close partnership between our staff, children, parents, the wider community and other local schools in our Nepean Learning Community.
