Burringbar Public School

Burringbar Public School is a small school focussed on providing outstanding educational opportunities for all students. Established in 1894, the school boasts a very strong and proud academic and sporting history. Situated in the picturesque village of Burringbar on the far north coast of NSW, the school enjoys exceptional playground facilities in a beautiful rural setting. Community involvement is highly valued and fosters a love of learning in an inclusive culture of collaboration, creativity and respect. Our school rules focus on respect, safety and participation. These values underpin our student welfare practices and social skills programs to ensure a safe, happy and stimulating learning environment for all. Kindergarten children are supported throughout their transition to school and first year at school by older students through our buddy program. Older students develop positive relationships with younger students enabling younger students to feel safe and cared for and older students feel valued and respected. Outstanding academic achievements in literacy, numeracy, public speaking and drama, reflect the exceptional programs implemented by a highly skilled and dedicated teaching staff. With a focus on providing the best possible learning opportunities for all students, Burringbar Public School provides a very caring and supportive learning environment with whole school programs in place to support each and every child's social, emotional, academic and physical learning needs. Specialised support is provided for gifted and talented students through challenging enrichment programs. Burringbar students are provided with a wide variety of educational and social experiences including drama, public speaking, choir, fitness and dance. Educational programs have a strong focus on technology and the school is very well resourced to meet the lifelong learning needs of its students. As a small school with five classes from Kindergarten to Year 6, quality education is provided in a fun-filled friendly learning environment where children learn to grow and grow to learn.

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.
