Cargo Public School is a small school situated 35 kilometres west of Orange, with a committed teaching staff and involved local community. At Cargo Public School we are committed to providing for all students, a rich and diverse curriculum with an emphasis on intellectual, physical and social development in a stable and supportive environment. We aim to support students in developing the skills, knowledge and values to lead productive and rewarding lives as empowered 21st century learners and citizens. Cargo Public School is a proud member of the Orange Small Schools Association (OSSA). This organisation provides the opportunity for additional sporting, cultural, social and academic opportunities as well as offering a wide support network and peer group base for our students and professional learning and leadership opportunities for staff.

An Instructional Leader has been appointed and additional resources have been allocated that enable the school to provide tiered interventions that focus on literacy and numeracy outcomes.

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.
