Eltham East Primary School (EEPS) is about our students; their learning, their welfare and their potential. We are committed to providing a nurturing and caring environment which supports and inspires our children to value learning, grow in self awareness and social responsibility. With our motto of Learning and Growing Together, the school and community form an interdependent partnership, with all members; students, staff and parents, living by and modelling our school values of Respect, Teamwork, Learning, Environment and Enjoyment. We value and encourage a high level of community involvement and ongoing communication between the school and home. Dedicated, skilled and enthusiastic staff use a range of innovative approaches as well as proven teaching practices to provide the very best learning environment for each child. Literacy and numeracy are the foundation stones of our curriculum. Music, Art, Physical Education and LOTE programs operate across the school. We have a whole school camping program. Intensive swimming programs are conducted from Years Prep to 4 and water safety/survival programs in Years 5 and 6. Opportunities are provided for students to embrace leadership roles, such as, school captains, choir captains, junior school council leader and environment and house captains. Students often lead and organize whole school social service and curricula events. We are proud of our academic record and strive to continuously improve and enhance the learning opportunities and results for our students. On behalf of our students, staff and parents, we extend a warm welcome to you and your child as you join the Eltham East Primary School community. We look forward to your time at our school being a happy and fulfilling partnership.
