Quambone Public School

Quambone School provides a caring, supportive environment in which children are encouraged to develop positive skills, knowledge and attitudes through a variety of experiences, progressing towards the full attainment of their potential as thinking individuals and effective members of society and achieve academically according to their individual abilities, attitudes and interests. To this end, the school provides a balanced, stimulating education, catering to the needs of the individual student by provision of individual education programs. Quambone Public School is a small isolated, rural school in western NSW. The school is uniquely located close to the Macquarie Marshes, using this environmental feature in many teaching and learning activities. It rates as an eight point school. The school is composed of four buildings of which two are used as classrooms, one as a library and the other as a staffroom. Quambone is fortunate to benefit from both CAP and PSP funding. The school is dedicated to offering students as many opportunities as possible to participate in arts activites to showcase their work and talents within the school and in the outside community.

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.
