Picton Public School

Picton Public School has a strong sense of community and values the partnership between parents, carers, students, staff and the broader community. The school is regarded highly within, and is strongly supported by, our local community. Our excellent image of public education is based on providing strong academic programs underpinned by outstanding student welfare practices which are supported by a broad variety of cultural and sporting activities. The school provides a diverse range of learning opportunities to ensure success for each and every student across the curriculum and to maximise their potential as learners. This is a key focus for Picton Public and a key strength of our school culture. Students are encouraged and nurtured in a positive, structured and purposeful learning environment with key targets being literacy, numeracy, technology and student engagement. There is also a strong notion of continual improvement and reflection on quality teaching and learning practices to deliver the best programs possible. Staff are dedicated, committed and are a strong, focused team with an ongoing commitment to improving key targets for all students in a trusting and respectful environment.

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.
