Attunga Public School

Attunga is a village 21 km north of Tamworth. The school has an enrolment of 33 students. Our motto is "Our Best Always" which underpins the school's purpose and values as identified on our School Plan. Our school community has high expectations and encourages respect, self-discipline and a sense of responsibility. Our purpose is to cater for all students to enable them to be confident, creative, well informed, articulate and resilient individuals. Explicit teaching of literacy and numeracy, supported with individualised learning programs and 21st Century teaching perspectives, ensures our students achieve their "Best Always". The NSW DEC measure of family occupation and education index (FOEI) is 138 which has enabled the school to receive Early Action For Success funding and also receives an Instructional Leader (0.1).

Maintenance

To ensure the safety, reliability and longevity of our schools, every school across NSW receives maintenance. The Department undertakes preventative and routine maintenance every year, and repairs as needed. The Department also reviews the planned maintenance program for each school every year and reviews those items that are predicted to require work to help prolong the life of the school buildings and facilities.

Demountables

Demountables have been part of the NSW education system for many decades and will continue to be used across the state. Demountable classrooms are modern, air-conditioned rooms that provide students and teaching staff with excellent quality facilities. The learning spaces have the same range of technology that is available in permanent spaces. We review school accommodation needs each year, looking at changing enrolment patterns and other factors to prepare for the upcoming school year. This helps to identify schools that need new demountables and schools where they can removed. Most demountable movement takes place between October and February and we report our annual demountable statistics each April. Additional demountable installations can occur outside this window to support capital works and maintenance projects in schools or emergency responses to natural disasters.

We recognise the Ongoing Custodians of the lands and waterways where we work and live. We pay respect to Elders past and present as ongoing teachers of knowledge, songlines and stories. We strive to ensure every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander learner in NSW achieves their potential through education.
