Colo Heights Public School

Colo Heights Public School is situated 40 km from Windsor. The school's relative isolation and the country setting have a considerable effect on the school's culture, policies and programs. Parents wish to maintain the small school country atmosphere but expect that the school will provide a wide comprehensive program. With modern buildings and a separate library, the school is well resourced to cater for the needs of its students. There is strong community support and the school's activities are well attended. The school's stated purpose is to create a learning community that provides quality teaching and learning experiences that are relevant to the students of Colo Heights, to develop an attitude of respect for learning and create an environment that is safe, secure and supportive. The school caters for the student's individual needs, whilst promoting the values of the wider community. It promotes the involvement and participation of the community and students in school affairs.

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.
