School Profile
Heany Park Primary School
was established in 1993 and is proud of the exceptional educational
program it provides for children in the local
Rowville
community. The
school enrolment is 715 in 2007, and has stabilised in recent years
after a decade of rapid growth.
Students are
generally grouped in straight classes, with four or five classes at each
grade level, and grade sizes are kept to a minimum. The student
population reflects a diversity of nationalities, which provides a
breadth of cultural experience and acceptance of others.
The school’s modern facilities and equipment are
outstanding with a well equipped gymnasium, music room,
Indonesian
language room, library, an
ICT Learning Centre
(30 PC lab) and computer pods adjacent to classrooms. All
teaching spaces are heated and cooled. Extensive work has been
undertaken to further develop and enhance the school’s grounds. This
includes the recent completion of paving and the establishment of a
native garden at the front entrance of the school. The school has ample
playing space for all students including two adventure playgrounds,
shade sails, two basketball courts, a school oval and access to the
adjoining municipal oval. The school
community prides itself on maintaining and improving these facilities
through cooperative effort. Parents and
guardians are encouraged to share in a partnership with a focus on
developing positive educational outcomes for their children. They are
welcomed in classrooms and participate in a wide range of school
activities.
The
school gives priority to providing core skills in Literacy and
Numeracy, as well as a broad education including emphasis on e-Learning
(ICT), The Arts, Science, Technology, Health and Physical Education.
The
Reptile Atrium
Project is a major feature of the school. The staff at Heany Park are
committed to encouraging all students to strive for excellence in a
supportive environment, which recognises individual differences and
different rates and styles of learning. Heany Park Primary School has a strong
reputation in the local community for providing a very caring and
supportive environment for students and families.
Program Achieve
(You Can Do It) allows students to develop behavioural skills in Getting
Along, Persistence, Organisation, Confidence and Resilience. All staff share a
commitment to the well-defined and articulated values of:
respect,
integrity, teamwork and life long learning.
