Vision & Values

Our EEPS Vision

Eltham East Primary School is committed to providing a safe, nurturing and respectful environment which supports and inspires our children to be actively involved in their learning, to grow in self-awareness, resilience and social responsibility and to contribute in a positive way to the world around them. 

We strive to live this vision every day at EEPS.

Our vision and school values underpin the culture of our school. They guide our actions, our decisions and the way we work together as a community.

At EEPS, this means:

  • Students who are actively involved in their learning, learning together and from one another.

  • Teachers who take responsibility for delivering programs of excellence, using varied and evidence-informed teaching practices.

  • Learning that connects meaningfully with our community and the world beyond the classroom.
