Emmaville Central School

Emmaville Central School is a small K to12 school located in a small supportive township in the northern New England area. The school receives equity funding for isolation and low socioeconomic communities. Staff are highly skilled in a broad range of areas and have won a variety of awards for their excellent teaching. Parents and community members support the school wholeheartedly. There is a strong emphasis on literacy, numeracy and technology across the school. Classes are small and teaching is highly responsive to individual students' needs. Innovative programs in Vocational Education, chess, creative arts, student leadership and student welfare aim to provide opportunities for all. A chaplaincy program supports pastoral care, values education, student endeavours and citizenship. The school's Stage 6 (Years 11 and 12) students study the majority of their subjects through Dubbo School of Distance Education but English, Mathematics and Construction are delivered face to face by Emmaville Central School staff.

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.
