There are currently 273 students at Heathcote Pulic School organised into eleven classes.

With the department's 'Reduced Class Size Initiative' having come into effect in 2005 with a state average of 20, the two Kindergarten classes are very small with 16/17 children in each class.

In Stage 2 (Years 3 & 4), classes average 30 students while in Stage 3 (Years 5 & 6), classes average 29 students.

Our Student Representative Council (SRC) consists of our student leaders and two class representatives from Years 2 to 6. The SRC is elected each year, along with a President, Vice-President, Treasurer and Secretary. The SRC meets every fortnight to discuss school issues and put forward student suggestions.

Our school Mufti Days are organised by the SRC. We have had a variety of Mufti Days to support charities such as The Starlight Foundation, Stewart House and CANTEEN.

Every year, the SRC is responsible for Harmony Day celebrations within the school which is a time when Australians come together to celebrate the many cultures that make up our country.
