GHPS has consistently achieved very high academic results whilst having socially and emotionally connected students at the school.
GHPS has a very welcoming and inclusive community that has focused on helping to build the resilience of students. The school¿s challenge is to continue this work and strive for continued learning growth with highly proficient and capable students including students with English as an Additional Language.
Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) across Leadership, Area Leaders, Specialist and classroom levels create a culture that is focused on continuous improvement using the Inquiry Cycle and linking the learning needs of the students with the professional learning and practice of teachers.The school has a strong commitment to PLC¿s including a PLC Leadership Team and PLC Coordinator and PLC Area Leaders. The PLC¿s are currently responsible for driving and monitoring school improvement, core curriculum scope and sequence development, monitoring and delivery in literacy, numeracy and integrated studies including history, design technology, science, sustainability and digital technologies.
Our staff are committed, caring and relentless in the pursuit of excellence for every child. We take pride in our growth mindset and ability to refine our approach to learning and wellbeing through evidence, research and collaboration. The platform for the provision of a welcoming, safe and supportive environment for all students and their families which is a priority for our staff is through the implementation of the Zones of Regulation and Circle Time and using Restorative Practices. The Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relations Program is also embedded across the school.
Our school is spread over two campuses, a junior and senior campus. The school has wonderful facilities including a full sized gymnasium, library, science/STEM, art, music and multipurpose rooms. The school has a large grass oval, three playgrounds, outdoor basketball court and synthetic turf soccer pitch.
We have a wonderfully supportive parent community who work in partnership with the school to create a sense of belonging and connectedness. The contribution and input of our families is key to a successful and positive experience for every child.
