Murringo Public School

At Murringo Public School, our philosophy is 'Every Child, Every Chance, Every Day'. We offer our students an education for life in a family atmosphere. Each child is supported by dedicated and enthusiastic staff and an active wider community. Our school is vibrant and caring with proud traditions spanning 150 years, yet we have embraced the future with access to state of the art technology and educational programs which prepare our students for the global challenges ahead. Murringo Public School enjoys an excellent working relationship with the dedicated Parents and Citizens Association. Many parents and citizens are active volunteers. Sequential planned and evaluated instruction is maintained at all times in all Key Learning Areas. Students participate in national and state competitions, including public speaking, ICAS, debating and spelling. We offer musical and art instruction from specialist staff and have a close working relationship with the Young Regional School of Music. The school has a rock band, guitar ensemble, drum corps and marimba ensemble. Students regularly compete at District, Regional and State sporting and musical events, and are part of the Learning To Lead sports program. Intensive literacy and numeracy programs are provided for all students with special learning needs. Murringo Public School is a proud member of the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program and promotes environmentally sustainable practices for all staff and students.

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.
