Minto Public School

Minto Public School is a small, caring school which aims to provide students with a quality education; and the opportunity for all to reach their full potential in a caring, safe and engaging environment. Minto Public School was originally opened in 1867 and has been at its present site since 1954, proudly serving a diverse community. It has a number of original buildings and an historical train museum. A wide range of learning experiences in six key learning areas is provided in multi-age class groupings. Literacy, Numeracy and student engagement are priority areas. Support is provided to students with special needs and a variety of programs are used to enhance student welfare. Extra curricular experiences are offered in the academics, the arts as well as in sport. A strong partnership exists between the school and the community and the school highly values the support provided by an active Parents and Citizens Committee.

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.
