Cattai Public School

Cattai Public is a happy and safe rural school overlooking the Cattai Creek in a picturesque setting. Our classrooms are centred on teaching and learning activities. We have high but fair expectations for all students. We regularly achieve above average National Assessment test results in Literacy and Mathematics. Our students have access to a reading recovery teacher. Our students utilise the connected classroom suite for discussing lessons with other schools and conducting talking and listening activities. Our students also enjoy classrooms with interactive whiteboards, new computers including a specialised computer room with access to the internet and classes that allow for more individualised tuition. Our students regularly participate in academic competitions, debating, public speaking and sporting gala days. We offer the Active School Sports program which includes three 30 minute fitness sessions each week in a variety of activities including Cricket, Circus Skills, Soccer Rugby League, Netball, Gymnastics, and Athletics. Our school has a dedicated music teacher who teaches each Friday. We have upgraded our playground with rubber based Soft Fall and mini goalposts for students to use. Our parents support the school through regular fundraising and working bees

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.
