Cobargo Public School

Cobargo Public School is located in the village of Cobargo on the NSW Far South Coast. The school offers extensive grounds in a rural setting. Our core values are: Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Safe. These are reinforced by our school wide Positive Behaviours For Success program. We believe that reinforcing the children for positive behaviour brings about the desired school climate. The school has a teaching principal, teaching assistant principal and two further, experienced classroom teachers. We also have a Support/Reading Recovery Teacher and Part-Time Librarian. Approximately 10% of students come from Aboriginal backgrounds. The local community is very supportive of the school. Special programs offered by the school include: Reading Recovery for students in Year One, a Student Parliament for primary aged students,inter-school debating program, a comprehensive sport program and Active After-School Program for primary aged students, reading tutor programs (eg: Multi-lit and Fast Forword,) Infants L3 Early Literacy Program, TEN (Teaching Early Numeracy)Progam and a variety of creative and performing arts opportunities. Cobargo School is also supported by the Country Areas Program, a Commonwealth Government program to support student learning outcomes in isolated rural areas, National Partnerships, a Commonwealth funded program, NORTA-NORTA funding for Aboriginal students, Priority Schools Program funding. A recent program has resulted in the development of vegetable gardens and orchard areas. Cobargo School has recently benefited from infrastructure upgrades funded by the NSW Department of Education. The upgrades have provided the school with a very appealing, natural learning environment.

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.
