Find your path.

Deeds Count

Inspiring through Excellence.‘ We challenge our students to think critically, work in teams, embrace opportunities, demonstrate leadership and achieve success along many pathways.’

At Eltham High School ‘deeds count’, which is why we develop creative students with a strong sense of social and environmental responsibility. This responsibility requires high levels of personal integrity, both at school and in our community.

Our students are independent thinkers—they are seekers, users and creators of their own knowledge.

Our teachers continually reflect on their practice, challenging themselves to better meet the needs of their students. We believe that the best teachers value the idiosyncratic voices of their students and will provide them with opportunities and spaces to discover things for themselves.

The Pursuit of Excellence.

ELTHAM HIGH SCHOOL

‘ Being a student at Eltham High means being the best you can. You have to think hard in some classes!’

At Eltham High School, students, teachers and parents come together and work collaboratively to continue our long tradition of setting high expectations, giving our graduates the confidence to strive for outstanding achievements in a wide range of fields.

As well as achieving outstanding results in academic disciplines, students also excel in creative fields and in the sporting arena.

ELTHAM HIGH SCHOOL

Individuality.

ELTHAM HIGH SCHOOL

‘ Being an individual is highly important. I’ve been taught not to judge what other peoples’ personalities would be just by the way they dress or who they hang out with.’

ELTHAM HIGH SCHOOL

Our students are individuals with unique talents and strengths.

As individuals, our young people are encouraged to exercise their freedom of choice and embrace greater responsibility for the decisions they make. The school supports them and helps them make the best choices about their learning programs and their individual pathways.

Our students are always encouraged to show initiative and pursue their individual passions.

Creativity.

ELTHAM HIGH SCHOOL

‘ Eltham High encourages everyone to reach for their full potential. If you are not good at one thing, there are thousands of other things you can do, and all the teachers will help you.’

Critical and creative thinking underpins our school’s curriculum and the learning opportunities our students receive.

At Eltham High School, creative students are not just artistic students, they are also our problem-solvers, our innovators and our change agents.

Our most creative students are also our highest achievers.

ELTHAM HIGH SCHOOL

Social & Environmental Responsibility.

ELTHAM HIGH SCHOOL

Social justice — through the promotion of mutual responsibility, respect and trust — is a cornerstone of Eltham High School.

Students regularly engage with the local and broader community creating lasting partnerships in curricular and co-curricular programs. These programs help develop a deeper appreciation of current social and environmental issues and encourage our students to take meaningful action.

‘ We value our ethical standards and apply them consistently at school and in the broader environment’

Respect for Diversity.

Our diverse and caring school community provides students with richer learning experiences and allows them to feel safe to be themselves without prejudice or fear.

This diverse and harmonious learning environment helps us to create individuals equipped to meet the complex global challenges of the 21st Century.

We also want to nurture the unique strengths and skills of our students, which is why leadership opportunities are available to students from the beginning to the end of their school journey.

‘ Being friends with different people helps you see things from other people’s point of view.’

ELTHAM HIGH SCHOOL

Integrity.

ELTHAM HIGH SCHOOL

‘ A person with integrity would stand up for what is right.’

At school we take pride in the wide range of educational opportunities offered within and alongside the curriculum. This ensures that the interests of each student can be applied to their learning and in doing so our students remain engaged and stimulated, and are more likely to excel.

Students and staff demonstrate integrity through the decisions they make, the actions they take and the relationships they build.
