Curriculum
Science and technology is mandatory for all students from Kindergarten to Year 6.
In science and technology, students explore the natural and made worlds. They learn how to apply scientific and technological skills, knowledge and understanding across a broad range of contexts.
Science provides a way of inquiring about the world around us. It explores evidence and investigates ways to discover, develop and produce solutions to real world problems. The inquiry and skill-based nature of science opens doors to ideas and discoveries.

Student Leadership
Student Leadership
Hurstville Grove Infants School is a small school that nurtures and inspires the growth and development of students as they commence their formal years of schooling from Kindergarten to Year 2. With a committed and dedicated staff, the school strives to excel with educational delivery and has a strong and positive culture. It is known amongst the broader community for its well-being and visible learning practices. We are a school that continues to evolve in our pursuit of excellence by providing high quality educational programs that focus on the individual through explicit teaching within small group learning environments.
Hurstville Grove Infants School aims to build, nurture and inspire its students for the future. There is an expectation that the school community work together to deliver respectful, responsible learners that collaborate, create, critically think and communicate as they endeavour to achieve their individual learning goals. The school is proud of its capacity to bring K-6 school experiences to its doors, offering an array of leadership opportunities and extra curricula activities such as dance and music.
Our transition program ensures our students find success as they commence Kindergarten and exit the school in Year 2 and progress to other educational settings in preparation for Year 3, from where they have proven to achieve outstanding NAPLAN results.
We look forward to you and your family becoming a member of “The Grove” community, where every child and family is personally known and valued.

Interpreting and Translations
We will help you communicate with our school. If you’d like an interpreter for a school meeting, let us know and we will arrange one, if available.

Visit the department’s translated documents section for important information that’s relevant for your child’s education in many languages.
Parents and Citizens’ Association (P&C)
Our Parents and Citizens’ Association (P&C) is made up of parents and carers, teachers and community members. The P&C meets regularly to work in partnership with the school for the better good of the students and the whole learning community.
-
The P&C association meets regularly (find dates posted in the school calendar) in the school library. At these meetings a report is given by the president of the P&C and the school principal.
-
The P&C is an integral part of Hurstville Grove Infants School and without its support many of the activities and resources by the school could not be achieved.
-
We have many community/parent volunteer programs supporting our students and their learning. Parents are often seen helping during fundraising activities, BEAR reading and incursions.
-
Parents are always welcome to attend out monthly informative P&C meetings. There is something for everyone.
Parent Helpers
If you have the time to support the students of Hurstville Grove Infants School, we would appreciate your assistance as a tutor for our targeted reading program 'Be Excited About Reading' (BEAR). This is an opportunity for you to not only learn how to support your own child's reading development but more importantly enhance the skill set of students across the school. Mrs Sterg coordinates this program and is more than happy to elaborate further.
Please note: all parent helpers require a 'working with children check' (WWCC). Please apply for the WWCC through Service NSW and bring your certification to the office to be registered.
