Branxton Public School

Branxton Public School is a rural school 22 kms from Maitland in the Hunter Valley. It provides a variety of educational and social experiences in a safe and caring environment. The involvement of parents and community members in school activities gives the school a nice feel. Through positive interaction with the school community, the school's Parents and Citizens Association is involved in a level of decision making and fundraising aimed at enhancing opportunities for all students. The school, with its community, provides a range of sporting and cultural activities. Events such as Starstruck and Dance Festival are teacher driven but supported wholeheartedly by the parents. The school is moving forward with technology in teaching by having interactive whiteboards and networked computers in classrooms. The staff is committed to ensuring each child achieves success in daily school life. School values are highlighted for students as a guide to expectations of effort and attitude in all things. Pride and Honour for Branxton Public School.

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.
