Clarence Town Public School

Clarence Town Public School, with its mix of heritage listed buildings, modern facilities and large playground space, is an ideal educational facility. Our school has a long and proud history and continues to develop and grow to meet the changing needs of our students. Students at our school come from our local town and many small rural properties nearby. The talented and experienced staff create a friendly and supportive learning environment for students, catering for their individual needs. Our school is committed to providing high quality education with a strong focus on literacy, numeracy and student wellbeing. We work in close association with our local community who support our school in all aspects. Much of our success comes from the positive relationships between parents, students, staff, our community and our learning community. We provide opportunities for all children to be confident and creative, to have a positive attitude towards learning and to strive for excellence in all areas. This includes sporting, academic and performing arts. We encourage our students to show respect for the rights of others, to take responsibility for their own actions and to show concern for the environment. This is integral to our 'Positive Behaviours for Learning' initiative where all aspects of our school are underpinned by our values Learning, Respect, Safety. We are a proud member of the Dungog & District Community of Schools and have many across school initiatives to offer our students maximum opportunity.

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.
