Ermington Public School

Ermington Public School aims to foster an environment where students can strive to achieve their best emotionally, socially and intellectually to empower them to become responsible citizens. We are a school of 441 students, which includes students in our two Opportunity Classes. We have a proud tradition that dates back to 1888 and we take pride in delivering a quality education in a warm and caring environment. Ermington Public School is an innovative school, using current research to inform teaching, learning and welfare programs to ensure that we provide not only the best in literacy and numeracy programs but the broader skills associated with effective learning and thinking. Parents are actively encouraged to support our teaching and learning programs. There are also regular opportunities for teachers and parents to meet to discuss student progress and to enhance the home and school relationship to further support the educational goals of our students. Our school has leading technology programs and facilities which include interactive whiteboards in all classrooms. There is also a strong creative and performing arts program and all students have the opportunity to participate in a variety of instrumental and choral programs.

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.
