Learning
At our school, we teach the NSW curriculum and offer many different subjects to support each student’s learning. We know that development of skills in literacy and numeracy are the building blocks for learning and for everyday life. Our teachers use effective teaching strategies to help students achieve their goals.

Extension opportunities
Some students are ready for more challenges. We offer open-ended tasks, enrichment programs and support. We help all students to reach their full potential.
What students learn
Students learn a wide range of subjects in the NSW curriculum. They build skills, think creatively and prepare for life beyond school.
At our school, students can take part in special religious education (SRE) or special education in ethics (SEE) classes, depending on what’s available. These classes are delivered by approved providers.
Additional to the weekly Special Education Program, Combined Christian Scripture Seminars, will be available at this school throughout the year.
Combined Christian Scripture Seminars incorporate:
- Australian Christian Churches
- Anglican Diocese of Sydney
- Baptist Union of NSW
- Churches of Christ NSW
- Presbyterian Church of Australia
- Uniting Church in Australia
- Fellowship of Congregational Churches
Seminars are open to any student who is interested in learning more about the Christian faith.
For our Islamic students Daily & Friday pray groups are facilitated by school staff.

At our school, we give the right support to help gifted learners to grow and do their best.
We notice these students early. They may learn quickly or show strong skills in creativity, leadership, problem solving or sport. We help them stay challenged with lessons and activities that match their strengths.

Our learning approach
Our school uses explicit teaching. This means we clearly tell students what they are learning, why it is important and how to do it step by step. Explicit teaching helps students understand new ideas by breaking them into smaller parts.
Learning at our school is student-centred, inclusive and practical. We are committed to equity and access. We support all learning styles and needs. Our teachers use proven teaching strategies. They take part in ongoing professional development to stay up to date with best teaching practice.
Our learning approach includes:
- real-world learning: hands-on tasks, group work and exploring new ideas
- technology: to help students learn and build digital skills
- flexible teaching: the right support for each student, with a focus on wellbeing
- community connections: through excursions and local programs.
Inclusive Education Faculty
In the Inclusive Education Faculty (IEF) at East Hills Boys High School, staff strive to deliver a mainstream syllabus, where possible, to our students. As a result, the curriculum is modified where necessary, and delivered in a safe, nurturing environment.
