Nambucca Heads Public School

Welcome to Nambucca Heads Primary School. Established in 1884 our school is located within the Nambucca Heads town centre, close to attractive beaches and rain forest areas. Our school features well-equipped classrooms, school hall, library, a connected classroom, a computer laboratory and interactive whiteboards in all classrooms. Our school has a strong focus on values education, a balanced healthy lifestyle, public speaking, debating and student leadership. These opportunities underpin the rich, stimulating learning environment in which our students learn and grow. The school has, excellent academic programs that demonstrate a strong emphasis on literacy, numeracy, technology, sports and the arts. Students at our school thrive in a fun learning environment where respect and tolerance are greatly valued. Our school’s highly qualified teachers provide a caring and nurturing atmosphere where the individual needs of the students are the priority. We aim to keep our parents well informed. Newsletters are issued weekly and special notes are dispatched when required for such things as excursions or changes to school or class routine. An outstanding gifted and talented program centred on public speaking and debating skills enabled our students to achieve regional recognition in the state Multicultural Public Speaking Competition and the State Debating Competition in 2011. As well, the school's Tournament of Minds team were awarded "Tournament Honours" in the state finals of the Mathematics Engineering section in 2011. The school will receive PSP funding for the next year and National Partnership funding for the next two years. We also receive support for Indigenous students, parents and community through the Schools in Partnership (SiP) initiative. The SiP initiative is a joint initiative with Nambucca Heads High School. The school has an active Parents and Citizens Association and Aboriginal Parent Group who assist in fostering successful partnerships between the school and wider community.

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.
