About Highlands School 

Philosophy

The Highlands’ staff believes a co-operative, open environment fosters the best possible academic, personal and social development for each pupil. Every child is encouraged to become an independent, self-motivated student with a positive attitude towards learning and a sense of responsibility and empathy for others.

Our school policies and procedures reflect the principles of child development, current educational practices and research and a concern for the needs of the individual child. Our programs encourage students to focus on the task of acquiring the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed to be successful in society.

We recognise that education is a partnership between home and school and we encourage parents to become involved through the Highlands Parent Advisory Council (HPAC).
