Mortdale Public School

Mortdale Public School provides a safe, secure learning environment for approximately 389 students. With approximately half our students coming from a language background other than English. We believe learning is a life-long process which encompasses academic, social, creative and emotional development. Results obtained through school-based and external assessments inform our teaching and learning literacy and numeracy programs, and the effective allocation of resources to best meet the needs of all students. Our school embraces new technologies to provide the best learning experiences for all students. We have achieved significant success in performing arts programs through our school bands, choirs, ballroom dance program, tuned percussion ensemble and K-6 Showcase. We also enjoy sporting success through our comprehensive school sport program whilst providing opportunities for our talented athletes through PSSA and other representative opportunities. Our school enjoys strong community involvement and support ensuring the best educational programs we can provide.

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.
