Telegraph Point Public School

Telegraph Point Public School is a small school situated alongside the Wilson River approximately 22km north of Port Macquarie on the mid-north coast of NSW. The school enjoys strong support from the local community and has seen an increase in enrolments during 2014. Students are drawn from the surrounding areas of Telegraph Point, Blackman's Point, Pembrooke and Kundabung. The school environment includes well-resourced, air-conditioned classrooms set in large picturesque grounds. The school has an excellent reputation for providing high quality educational opportunities for all students in academic, cultural, sporting and social aspects. A wide range of programs and initiatives cater for the diverse needs, skills and interests of students. Technology is a priority to cater for our 21st century learners. Interactive whiteboards and computers are available in all rooms in addition to an interactive classroom for video conferencing and a computer room furnished with 30 computers for whole class tuition and access. Our teachers are highly dedicated professionals who are committed to ongoing professional learning as they strive for best teaching practice in all classrooms. They put the needs and wellbeing of students at the forefront of all decisions and go 'above and beyond' in providing so many opportunities for children to experience success in all endeavours. We acknowledge and focus on respect, cooperation and safety as the core values of our school. These values, together with our school rules, are the foundation of our behaviour management policy. Assertive discipline encourages students to take responsibility for their behaviour and promotes positive behavioural choices, ensuring a safe and happy environment for all members of the school community. The Parents' and Citizens' Association is very active in their fundraising efforts which contribute to the best possible facilities, resources and opportunities for students. Telegraph Point Public School is a proud member of the Hastings Valley Community of Schools.

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 strive to ensure every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander learner in NSW achieves their potential through education.
