At EHPS, we believe in fostering a sense of community and inclusivity. We are particularly thrilled to get to know the children who have enrolled to commence in Prep/Foundation at EHPS in 2024.

Reviews
"The 2 minutes drop off on Essex Road, has become a car park for some selfish parents during school drop off and pick up. It can be very frustrating when people park their cars inconsiderately, causing inconvenience and disruption to others. However, I would like to suggest a few alternative solutions that could potentially address the issue. Firstly, it might be helpful to encourage the school administration to send out regular reminders to parents about the importance of following parking regulations and being considerate of other road users. This could be done through newsletters, emails or even text messages. Another solution could be to work with the local council or law enforcement to increase enforcement of parking regulations in the area. This could involve deploying traffic wardens to monitor the area during peak drop-off and pick-up times, or installing cameras to deter inconsiderate parking. Ultimately, the most effective solution would be to encourage parents to use alternative modes of transport, such as walking, cycling or public transport. This would not only reduce traffic congestion and inconsiderate parking but also promote healthier and more sustainable travel options. I hope these suggestions are helpful, and I wish you the best of luck in finding a solution to the issue."
"I was at this school from prep to year 5 now I am in high school this is the best school I think there is I had the best teachers and best friends this was the school that set me up from high school 80% of things in high school I learnt here I think they needed to cut us some slack on the homework that was terrifying we had history spelling maths in year 5 it was harsh but it helped me. The sporting facilities are perfect with tons of basketball courts the gym and oval and we had access to the cricket nets. I progressed so much though these years even as a younger student for my year. I only was bullied once and to be fair I hardly was but the teachers did the best they can and helped me (Miss Lennon) over all this is a good school you should definitely send your. Children here."
"Was a former student in the early 1980s, I suffered an incredible amount of bullying. No one cared. The teachers laughed. Now 40 years later I am an empty shell. My bullies went on to become successful whereas I ended up a loser!! Thank you"
"This school is so great and fun. The teachers are amazing and the way they teach is so cool and easy to learn. I am really bad with a lot of subjects but these teachers are so good and encouraging all the time. But there is one extraordinary teacher called Carolyn. She has helped me through the toughest times in my life and has never given up on me. She helped me So much and made me a better person. This school is amazing and fun. I really think that u should enrol your kids in this school."
"This is an amazing school. All the teachers are amazing. I honestly have no idea what the bullying stuff is about. I have been a student at this school since prep, and I have only experienced bullying ONCE. I highly recommend you send your kids to this school. Your children will have a GREAT time here."
