Our school has created a point of difference within the community through achieving our goals and objectives outlined in our Strategic Plan over the past 4 years. We have a reputation of being a safe, proud, welcoming and family focussed environment. Learning opportunities that we have created to increase participation and engagement in ‘school life’ for everyone based on community feedback have become our reality. Whether it be through our Kitchen Garden program, natural play environments, sporting pathways, academic focus on Reading Comprehension and Mathematics or improving our ‘Dispositions For Learning’ through our Positive Education program, they have all impact positively on the school.

This is best realised by feedback from our school Community who said when surveyed recently:

Parents and Students at the school feel the changes over the last few years are all for the better: good staff, good back-up team, positive Principal who keeps them informed.

Elizabeth Grove is welcoming to everyone; it accommodates our needs; children are happy; the school is safe.

Positive Education is having a significant impact on student perceptions of themselves and their learning: “it helps us to keep going” and “helps me to stay calm”

Through Education we can be the ‘difference’ for the students at EGPS, working in partnership with families to embed the school values of ‘Respect, Honesty and Community’ that lead to achieving life-long success.
