Black Hill Public School

Black Hill Public School is a small school serving a rural area bounded by Newcastle, Maitland and Kurri Kurri. Within our tree-framed grounds we provide high-quality environmental, academic, sporting, cultural and technological facilities to foster the individual development of each student. The school promotes quality teaching and learning with an experienced staff who continually strive for improvement. The school is supported by a committed community with high expectations. The school delivers quality curriculum programs with opportunities for support and extension within a safe and happy environment. At Black Hill Public School, through fostering positive self-esteem, developing self-motivation and self-discipline, we aim to help each of our students realise their own individual potential and be prepared for the challenges of the future. To this end our school mission is 'self-reliant students ready for the future'. Due to the small number of students in each grade it is not possible to draw valid conclusions from statisical data such as NAPLAN testing.

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.
