Parent Communication

At HEPS, we recognise the importance of communication and would like all families to know that we are available to discuss your child’s learning journey. If you have any concerns or questions about your child’s schooling,  academic or wellbeing, please do not hesitate to get in touch with their classroom teacher via Compass first. If the matter is urgent, we ask that you phone the school. At HEPS, we also share important updates and information through Compass, WhatsApp groups, the school newsletter and Facebook. If you would like to follow us on Facebook, please click the link below to request access:

District Swimming Championships

Congratulations to all students who participated in the District Swimming Championships on Monday.  A special congratulations to those students who were successful on the day and have progressed to the Divisional level. We wish you the very best in the next stage of competition.

NAPLAN - Year 3 & 5 Students

Our Year 3 and 5 students will participate in NAPLAN between Wednesday 11th to Monday 16th March. All tests will be completed online, except for the Year 3 Writing assessment, which will be handwritten on paper. See below for the dates of each test. NAPLAN is one aspect of each school’s assessment and reporting process and does not replace the extensive, ongoing assessments made by teachers throughout the year. Your child’s classroom teacher has the best insight into your child’s overall educational progress.
