Eaglehawk North Primary School is situated on the north-western edge of the City of Greater Bendigo. 2010 staffing consisted of 2 Principal Class staff, 18.3 Teachers and 5.16 Education Support Staff. The present 305 students are drawn from across the greater Eaglehawk area and project a very broad social-economic profile. The original 135 year old redbrick building which has now been reconfigured as our administration and staff facilities building is complemented by newer buildings. A soon to be completed $3 million ‘Building the Education Revolution’ funded construction will provide us with six learning areas and various other rooms. The school has a history of providing children with extensive sporting opportunities and in recent years the school has committed significant priority and resources to the area of I.C.T. This will position the school well for the imminent arrival of the Ultranet. The school is also very strongly involved in community programs, participating in initiatives, especially Arts related, as they arise. Jump Rope for Heart,1:1 Netbooks, Junior School Council, Chaplaincy, ‘Seasons’ and Reading Recovery are all valued programs. The directions within the new four year period of the Strategic Plan will be an increased focus on literacy and numeracy practice with our challenge being to improve student outcomes Prep to 6 and to further embed the use of technology at the classroom level.
