Tea Gardens Public School

Tea Gardens Public School is situated in an idyllic seaside village servicing the communities of Tea Gardens, Hawks Nest and surrounding areas. The school has an attractive physical environment of wide open play areas and adjoining bushland. We are a proud member of the Myall Learning Community. We have a current enrolment of 193 students K-6 across 8 classes as at April 2019. 24% of our students identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, and a significant number come from a low socio-economic background. The school prides itself on being a welcoming and friendly school which works in close partnerships with parents, AECG and the wider community. The school's parliament, 'The Voice of the Children' is recognised as a model of student participation in the decision making process and is celebrating its 30th Official Opening in 2019. Parliament, together with the school's debating and public speaking programs, produces highly confident and self-assured students. The school has developed and implemented a very effective learning support program. Students with a range of special needs are well supported in mainstream classes and achieve great success. Some unique features of Tea Gardens Public School are the annual Art and Craft Expo, school and community band, our garden, healthy canteen and our ongoing commitment to future focused learning.

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.
