Our purpose is to develop the desire to continue to learn throughout life and the capacity to exercise judgement and responsibility in matters of morality, ethics and social justice by all members of the school community. Supporting our purpose are three core values: respect, learning, and a sense of community. The school has a capped enrolment of 450 with 28.5 equivalent full time staff: 2 Principal class, 25 teaching staff and 7 Education Support staff. Princes Hill has a diverse cultural and socio-economic student demographic with 15% receiving Education Maintenance Allowance and 39% of children from a Non-English Speaking Background. The diversity of the school community and the school's culture of respect and care for others, fosters a cooperative environment. Partnerships with parents is a school priority. School Council is reviewing the operation of sub-committees to enhance communication with the school community. The school offers a range of programs and structures designed to facilitate student learning, engagement and social responsibility. Children as participants in the 21st century need to understand themselves as learners, learn to work collaboratively, learn how to access new skills and knowledge and develop the skills of thinking creatively, laterally and critically. We believe increasing the focus on working in a meaningful collaboration with the community is vital because these children and this school are shaping the present and the future society.
