Ulmarra Public School

Ulmarra Public School is located 12 kms north of Grafton in an historic river port village. The school has a student enrolment of around 80 and enjoys the support of a dynamic, committed and energetic community. Its dedicated staff has a good balance of highly qualified and experienced teachers and young and enthusiastic recent graduates. We have a strong Information and Communication Technology (ICT) focus with fully networked computers, interactive whiteboards in all classrooms and videoconferencing facilities. We offer quality programs for students with special needs plus enrichment programs for gifted and talented students. Our junior students regularly achieve reading results 1 to 2 years ahead of expected levels. We run a pre-school transition program one day per week for the entire school year. Opportunities exist for all students to participate in the performing arts, leadership roles and sporting teams as our school has developed and nurtured an inclusive culture. Our School Parliament is actively involved in school decision making. Extra-curricular programs include film making, Brain Gym, The Perceptual Motor Skills Program and a gifted and talented ICT class.

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.
