Curlewis Public School

Curlewis Public School, located 20km south of Gunnedah, caters to the students within the village of Curlewis and surrounding areas. The school enrolment for 2009 is 52 students, with 30% of these students identifying as Aboriginal. Curlewis Public School provides students with quality educational programs delivered by highly qualified, dedicated teachers. With a strong academic focus, your child will enjoy unique opportunities that challenge and extend their learning. Literacy has been a focus in the school with all teaching staff trained in and implementing the nationally accredited Accelerated Literacy program from Kindergarten to Year 6, where students learn by studying high quality picture books, short stories and novels, and use the techniques of the authors to improve their own writing and understanding of the written word. Our primary students participate in an instrumental music program with all primary students playing a brass or percussion instrument. Opportunities exist for all of our students to participate in and extend skills in a variety of individual and team sports.

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.
