Carrington Public School

Carrington Public School is a small, well-resourced school, close to the city-centre of Newcastle. We pride ourself on fabulous teaching staff and happy students. We offer strong educational and enrichment programs such as music, choir, debating and drama. We have lovely grounds, sandpit and cubby-house, a school bus, video-conferencing facilities and lots more. Visitors are always welcome to tour our school. Our aim is to provide high quality teaching instruction that meets the learning needs of every student. Optimum performance is encouraged in all learning experiences. We welcome students from all cultures and celebrate our Indigenous heritage. We teach our students to be confident, considerate and respectful at all times. We believe all students are entitled to a socially, emotionally and physically safe learning environment. We value our community and believe that a child's success is based on a three-way partnership between the staff, the parents and the student. Through this partnership we aim to create students who are life-long learners, independent thinkers, respectful individuals and responsible citizens.

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.
