This year, our school undertook self–assessment using the School Excellence Framework and participated in an external validation. The framework supports public schools throughout NSW in the pursuit of excellence by providing a clear description of high quality practice across the three domains of Learning, Teaching and Leading.

The external validation process is an important component of a system-wide approach to school excellence. Lake Heights staff, students and families participated in the process during 2018 and produced the following report.

For Lake Heights Public School, 2017 has been a year of consolidation, growth, improvement and reflection. This year, our collaborative evaluation process has indicated that in most areas, we have continued to achieve within the sustaining and growing phase of the School Excellence Framework.

At Lake Heights Public School, our motto is ‘Strive for Excellence’. Over the past year, our efforts have been centred on encapsulating this ideal as we strive to strengthen and deliver on school learning priorities, and guide our students in their own pursuit of excellence.

In 2015, our school undertook self-assessment using the elements of the School Excellence Framework. At Lake Heights Public School we pride ourselves on our commitment to providing students with high quality educational opportunities.

What an incredibly full year it has been at Lake Heights. Throughout 2014 the staff has worked hard in partnership with the community to ensure that the students at Lake Heights are given every opportunity to reach their full learning potential.
