Huskisson Public School

Huskisson Public School enjoys a magnificent location adjacent to Jervis Bay. This enables environmental education to form an important part of our school curriculum. Easy access to Booderee National Park, Jervis Bay Marine Park, Moona Moona Creek, numerous bush tracks and the Lady Denman Museum enhance our studies in this area. The small school setting provides a safe, caring and positive learning environment and offers students a comprehensive range of academic, cultural and physical education programs. Students are offered all opportunities to extend their strengths and thrive under the guidance of dedicated, professional and genuinely caring staff. Values, social, safety and life skills are taught and lasting friendships are forged. Sporting and fitness skills are emphasized and the school holds all local pro-rata sporting shields. Specialized programs in Literacy and Numeracy ensure that those students requiring extra assistance can achieve their goals. The school is held in high esteem in the community. Leadership, pride in school and self respect are promoted. We encourage students to view learning as an enjoyable lifelong endeavour.

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.
