Kurrajong North Public School

Kurrajong North Public School is a smaller primary school nestled in an escarpment of the Blue Mountains overlooking the Sydney Basin. It includes at its heart then original school house which is heritage listed; constructed in 1880. Student enrolments have increased steadily over the last few years with a current enrolment of 104 students. At present 6% of our students identify as being Aboriginal and 17% are from a non-English speaking background. The school has five full-time teacher positions including a teaching principal. It has a part time teacher who delivers the school's student support programs as well as one permanent administrative position. The school has an active P&C body working alongside staff to support school initiatives and directions. The school has a strong focus on academic excellence in literacy and numeracy and offers a comprehensive student support program in these areas based on ongoing assessment. The school offers a comprehensive extra-curricular program utilising the skills of accredited coaches to deliver programs in dance, athletics and gymnastics. Opportunities are also provided to enable students to develop their debating and public speaking skills as well as creative talents.

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.
