Why families choose us

I would highly recommend Emu Heights as a local school. Our children have built some beautiful friendships and have thrived through the support of the teachers and staff throughout the years — a parent of Emu Heights Public School

Emu Heights is a small close knit community where everyone looks out for each other. The teachers and staff make a real effort to get to know the students and families — a parent of Emu Heights Public School


You know the teachers and staff genuinely care about the kids, when my kids come home and have nothing but good things to say about their day and teachers — a parent of Emu Heights Public School

An amazing school, always would recommend — a parent of Emu Heights Public School


What I like most about Emu Heights Public School is that ALL staff know each child's name - not just their class teacher or SLSO's. I feel as if each member of staff genuinely cares about each student — a parent of Emu Heights Public School


The school helps my child to learn and grow by taking time to explain not just academic lessons but personal ones. Staff are persistent and will always look at other ways they can approach a situation if something isn't working. All staff are aware of issues and try to make allowances or modifications to allow children to be comfortable and happy and therefore do their best
