Emu Heights is located 58 kilometres west of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the City of Penrith.

[2] It is bounded to the north by the Nepean River, to the east (at Russell St) and south (at Great Western Railway) by the suburb of Emu Plains and to the west by the City of Blue Mountains local government area.

[4] The school's teaching revolves around seven Key Learning Areas, English, Mathematics, Science, ICT, Human society and its environment, the Creative Arts and Personal Health and Social Development.

Clissold Park is host to great diversity of Australia's fauna and flora and features basketball, netball and children's playground facilities.

The park does not have formal field sporting facilities but is more than large enough for such and regularly used by the close knit people of Emu Heights for community events.
