About Us

Principal

Welcome and thank you for taking the time to visit Heany Park Primary School’s website. We are an International Baccalaureate World School authorised to teach the Primary Year’s Programme. I hope that as you look through the various pages you will get an understanding of our passionate and energetic community that has a long history of being one of the most respected and admired primary schools in the area. Our caring and dedicated teaching team build strong relationships with students to develop them cognitively, physically, spiritually, socially and emotionally to strive to achieve their personal best in all areas. Our strong school values of respect, acceptance, integrity and lifelong learning are embedded in all that we do and contribute towards the development of independent, confident and resilient learners. We aim to prepare students to meet the challenges of an ever-changing global society, so they will have the skills, values, understandings and courage to undertake a positive, productive and rewarding role in the world.

We recognise the importance of literacy and numeracy and have a strong focus on these areas and dedicated time to explicitly teach these skills. At Heany Park there is also a focus on developing critical capabilities to prepare students to be global citizens in the 21st century. Our rich curriculum fosters students’ capabilities in critical and creative thinking, intercultural and ethical understanding and personal and social learning. It challenges students and expands their knowledge, understandings and skills in Science, Humanities and Design and Technology. Students attend lessons with a specialist teacher in Performing Arts – Dance, Drama and Music and Visual Arts 2D and 3D, Physical Education and Languages – Indonesian. A guided inquiry approach fosters students’ natural curiosity and ensures they are supported to uncover deep understandings about the world in which they live and also develop an inquiring mind. Heany Park Primary School has a strong commitment to digital learning technologies throughout the school including interactive whiteboards, class sets of iPad’s and notebook computers. We believe everything we plan must be an investment in our students, to support them to be independent, thoughtful, open minded and compassionate young people.

If you haven’t yet experienced all that Heany Park Primary School has to offer, please call to arrange a school tour. I look forward to the opportunity of meeting you and showing you first hand why our school is a caring community and an exceptional learning environment.
