.

Hurstville Grove Infants School is a small school located in a high socio-economic area of southern Sydney with an enrolment of 62 students at the beginning of 2025. The school is recognised for providing an alternate entry point to a child's education, where the community trusts that every student is known, valued and nurtured within a safe, nurturing and aspirational learning environment. Hurstville Grove Infants School delivers a quality differentiated curriculum with a strong focus on the foundations of literacy and numeracy for students from Kindergarten to Year Two, as demonstrated through the school's recognition as a lighthouse centre of excellence in implementing Lyn Sharratt's Clarity as a key pilot school in the Metropolitan South Directorate. School-wide programs are underpinned by exemplary wellbeing practices and an emphasis on Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL). Student voice and participation is advocated at all levels across the school and is further enhanced by the student leadership team who work together to be respectful, responsible learners. The school has successful relationships with the P&C, parents, carers, the wider school and educational community, inclusive of health professionals; all of whom play a vital role in supporting programs and improving educational outcomes for our students. The learning needs of students are supported by the expertise of a strong collaborative teaching team, inclusive of school learning and support officers, as well as by Team Around a School colleagues. In developing the situational analysis for the School Excellence Plan, two areas of focus were identified for improvement, 'Student Growth and Attainment'' and "Enriched Engagement". Early career and experienced teachers alike engage in high-impact professional learning that is evidenced-informed to further improve explicit teaching and data practices and successfully enhance literacy, numeracy and wellbeing outcomes for all students (K-2).
