Wallacia Public School

Wallacia Public School serves a small semi-rural community located fifteen kilometres from Penrith. Students are drawn from the village residential area and surrounding small properties. With an enrolment of approximately 50 students, Wallacia Public School provides all the advantages of a small school environment. The school is characterised by high expectations of students and staff and focuses on providing a quality education for every child. Priority teaching and learning areas include Literacy, Numeracy and Technology with impressive results and growth across NAPLAN and Check-in assessment. Students are also provided with a broad range of opportunities in the Creative Arts and Sport. There is a strong emphasis on high standards of student behaviour, with teachers and students working together to promote a safe and happy learning environment. The school is an active member of the Nepean Valley Small Schools Network. There is an active Parents and Citizens Association, and community involvement in school life is encouraged.

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.
