Burnside Public School

Burnside Public School, situated in spacious and attractive grounds in the Sydney suburb of North Parramatta, has provided quality education for students since 1922. Our school motto, 'Omnia Pro Bono', meaning for the good of all, is fundamental to the school's philosophy and planning. A recent building program has seen the addition of a new library and double classroom to the existing beautiful historic site. The school is committed to providing high quality education to meet the needs of all students. We acknowledge different learning styles and individual rates of development. This commitment has led to the school’s outstanding academic results, sporting success and extensive creative arts programs. There is a strong emphasis on student welfare and to the development of students’ skills in literacy, numeracy and technology. Broad selections of extra-curricular activities are available to students including a band program, choir, dance, PSSA sport, debating and public speaking, . As a result of the tremendous support and involvement of the community, the school enjoys outstanding facilities and resources. The whole school community works in close partnership to provide a happy, caring and friendly environment. OOSH and vacation care is available on site. Further information about Burnside Public School, including the Annual Report, can be found on the school website.

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.
