Megalong Public School

Megalong Public School is situated in the Megalong Valley, fifteen kilometres south of the township of Blackheath, and was established in 1892 as a subsidised rural school which served the communities of Megalong and Kanimbla Valleys. Our school's aim is to provide an encouraging, challenging, well resourced and aesthetically pleasing learning environment in which all the students can realise their full potential and demonstrate a pride in being part of the school. The school has an emphasis on the basic skills as well as offering a range of enrichment activities for K to 6. It also seeks to ensure that students experiencing difficulties are provided with a cohesive remedial program. We endeavour to overcome our isolation by regularly focusing on appropriate sporting, cultural and social excursions. Today we serve a geographically widespread and diverse community which regards the school as a focal point for many community activities and social occasions.

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.
