The NEST K-12 pathway
Elanora Heights Public School is a proud member of 'The NEST' - The Narrabeen Elanora Student and Teacher Collaboration (Narrabeen North PS, Elanora Heights PS, Narrabeen Lakes PS and Narrabeen Sports High School). This local initiative is innovative, purpose driven and community based, focused on creating opportunities for students to engage in select activities that encourages problem solving skills, collaborative work and critical and creative thinking.
What is The NEST?
Through shared programs, cross-school experiences and strong collaboration between teachers, our students are able to participate in rich, authentic learning opportunities that extend beyond the classroom and beyond a single school.
Students benefit from:
- cross-school learning experiences that broaden their educational perspectives
- shared expertise and collaborative teaching practices among educators
- meaningful leadership opportunities that develop confidence and skills
- academic enrichment programs tailored to extend their learning potential
- building stronger connections within their local community to foster a sense of belonging
- exposure to high school environments and experiences that support smooth transitions
Stronger pathways from primary to high school
A key strength of the NEST partnership, is the support it provides students as they prepare to transition from primary school into high school.
Through shared learning experiences, mentoring programs and high school visits, students begin to build relationships with peers and teachers before they start Year 7. They become familiar with the high school environment, expectations and opportunities, laying the foundation for a smooth and positive transition.
High school students take on leadership roles, mentoring and supporting younger learners through a range of programs. Primary students benefit from these connections, while older students develop leadership, communication and responsibility. We are proud of the strong sense of community and connection this creates across all four schools.
