Eglinton Public School

Eglinton Public School, established 150 years ago, is a dynamic village school nestled on the Macquarie River in Bathurst.The school enjoys close ties with its community and the range of programs acknowledges both community and individual student needs. The school provides a wide range of sporting options, enrichment programs in debating and public speaking and learning support programs in literacy and numeracy. The school has a proud tradition of achievement in the creative arts with outstanding established programs in visual arts and music, choir and dance. Eglinton Public School strongly supports students across 19 mainstream and 3 special needs classes. Our student welfare, and learning support policies and programs, create a quality learning environment for all students underpinned by a culture of high expectation, respect, personal pride and tolerance. We hold a strong partnership with the Bathurst Alliance of Schools and our feeder high schools – Denision College: Bathurst and Kelso High Campuses. Our active school community manage several sub–committees under the P&C, providing support for student learning and welfare. These include Concert band programs, OOSH services, Canteen, Uniform shop, Garden Club and our annual Eglinton Country Fair.

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.
