Vision & Values

HEPS vision is to develop a learning community in which;

All students are empowered to learn and achieve success; to be curious, engaged, collaborative, empathetic and critical thinkers.

We believe that learning is a lifelong journey of growing knowledge and skills through exposure to new information, ideas and concepts across a wide range of curriculum areas. As learners, we need the ability to apply, process, make significant connections, critically reflect and articulate across differing situations to develop as individuals within a community. We work together with parents to empower all students to embrace learning, achieve their personal best and build their emotional, social and physical well-being.

We strive to provide an engaging environment that underpins the development of learning and understanding for our students. Through our values of Respect, Resilience, Teamwork and Growth, we support and challenge the development of a growth mindset; enabling our students to be intrinsically motivated, curious, critical thinkers with the ability to reflect on their own learning and beliefs.

School Values

As a school community, we have created a set of values which reflect our philosophy and community at HEPS. These values underpin the way in which we engage with; students, teachers and families to support a flourishing school community.

To foster a sense of belonging and pride within our HEPS community we perform our school song at all assemblies. Students, staff and parents are encouraged to participate in the song and actions.
