Jerrys Plains Public School

Jerrys Plains Public School is a P5 school 38kms north west of Singleton, in the lower Hunter Valley. Our heritage-listed buildings are complemented by extensive, well-kept grounds, and boast peaceful rural outlooks. Our School values of Respect, Organisation, Commitment, Kindness and Safety are promoted through Positive Behaviour for Learning, our student wellbeing framework. Student learning begins in the School's comprehensive transition-to-school program, "Ready4School", sponsored by Coal & Allied Community Development Fund, and encompasses all facets of development: physical, cognitive, technological, creative, social and emotional. We aim for academic excellence through relevant, challenging and purposeful educational programs, developed to meet individual learning needs. Positive interactions beween students, staff and families are supported through community-based involvement in the School's day-to-day operations. We are preparing our students for the 21st Century and instilling a lifelong love of learning.

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.
