| Herne Hill Primary School is situated in the Swan Valley on the outskirts of Perth about 25kms from the Central Business District. It is bordered by the Darling Range to the East and the Swan River to the West. Set in superb grounds with lush gardens, the school is a mix of new and previous buildings which are air conditioned. Extensions to the Under Cover Area will further enhance the facilities. The school was established in 1922 and a significant number of students are descendants of the Swan Valley pioneers with several generations of families attending the school. The school has high expectations in terms of behaviour, values and work ethic. Students often refer to 'the Herne Hill way' and are encouraged to have active minds and bodies. A feature of the school is the strong sense of community involvement and tradition of support for the P & C and its committees. In return, the school enjoys a very positive image within the community which is reflected by the contact that is maintained by ex-students and their families. Herne Hill students come from a diverse range of socio-economic backgrounds, with some twenty percent of families speaking other languages either exclusively or in addition to English. A small number of the students are Aboriginal. Staff are experienced and very capable. Some live locally and have strong links with the community. There is minimal turnover of staff despite some driving some distance to the school each day. This stability is reflected in the strong professional relationships. | ||||
