Horsley Park Public School

Horsley Park Public School is a small semi-rural school on the outskirts of Fairfield, with a proud history spanning 80 years. The school is staffed by highly qualified and dedicated teachers and has a caring K-6 philosophy. Just as each child is an individual with their own character and needs, so too their educational growth is unique. The school prides itself on the wide range of excellent educational programs and experiences offered, assisting students to develop and extend their talents in a safe and supportive environment.The teachers are committed to nurturing and developing the ability of each child through carefully planned and innovative teaching programs. The school works with parents and the broader community to continually improve outcomes of students and ensure that they develop the skills to make them productive, successful and socially responsible citizens. Positive behaviour, cooperation and participation are encouraged and rewarded through a whole school approach. Students and parents enjoy the benefits associated with a small school - personalised learning in a supportive community, yet as a member of the Cowpasture Community of Schools, students are provided with access to the benefits of a large school community including interschool sport, cultural performances, competitions and leadership opportunities.

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.
