East Bentleigh P. S.with an enrolment of 300 is committed to continuous improvement and achieving excellence in teaching and learning at every level . Our school is small enough to allow each student to be treated as an individual yet large enough to support a wide range of programs. Situated in a superb natural environment, EBPS has abundant grassed areas, mature trees, views of Yarra Yarra Golf Course and plenty of open space nearby. The implementation of the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen garden program in 2009 has enhanced stimulating learning opportunities.We are looking forward to moving into our new library and classroom hub in Term 2 2011 as part of the BER program. This school has 29.9 equivalent full time staff, 2 Prin Class,20.8 tchrs and 7.1 Education Support . At EBPS we have two different curriculum streams - our Mainstream and our Steiner stream. Both the Mainstream and Steiner stream programs are underpinned by the Victorian Essential Learning Standards framework. The two curriculum streams operate in parallel within the school and parents select which stream they would like their child to go in. Our two streams operate side by side and support one another. Our caring school community has shown that individuals with diverse philosophies can work together harmoniously.
