Eaglehawk Primary School is situated in the main business district of Eaglehawk and is part of the City of Greater Bendigo. The school has a proud heritage, making a strong contribution to education for 150 years. Eaglehawk Primary School has a principal, 6 full time teaching staff, 2 part time specialists, an Office Manager and 4 part time Educational Support staff. Recently we have been in merger talks which will not proceed and this process has had a large bearing on the school and community the past year. The school population is drawn from a well-defined geographic area. The current enrolment is 97 and this has seen a number of classrooms vacated which has enabled for some flexible work spaces. We are a "Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden" school and as such we have a Children's Kitchen closely linked to a large Kitchen Garden. We also provide a Parent's room especially for parent use. Students are the central focus in our learning community which has a strong commitment to: promoting high levels of student literacy and numeracy achievement, addressing the diverse needs of students, providing programs which support and protect the welfare of all, providing a developing strong partnerships and strengthening links between all school and community groups. Eaglehawk Primary School is school focused on Positive Behaviour Strategies which involves a focus on the development of social skills. Our focus is around Caring for Self, Others and the Environment. These statements are the focal point of our Behaviour management. Our students enjoy a rigorous and varied education with opportunities to develop academic, physical, social and technological skills.
