At EHPS we take pride in promoting the many rich and varied cultural backgrounds that make up our school community.
This year 44.9% of our total school Population are from language backgrounds other than English (LBOTE).
The ESL ( English as a second language ) students are supported in their classrooms and/or through withdrawal classes for intensive English classes each day.

  ESL  instruction in all Key Learning Areas is an important focus of EHPS.  During 2011 we are being supported by a dedicated ESL teacher who works 3 days per week.
