Wee Jasper Public School

Wee Jasper Public School is a small, isolated school set on nine acres in the picturesque Goodradigbee Valley. The school was established in 1899 and has always been a one teacher school. Our students are actively encouraged to be achievers, set short and long term goals and approach life with an optimistic outlook. They will leave the school with strong numeracy, literacy and technology skills. Interest is nurtured in the natural environment, both flora and fauna; landforms; camping; fishing; gardening; playing guitar; tennis; golf and athletics. Students will be equipped with the skills to participate confidently in society and lead a healthy , sporting and active life. The school offers a diverse range of learning opportunities for the students. To overcome isolation, the school is active in promoting activities with other schools to maximise social and cultural experiences for the children. Many overnight camps and day trips are held during the year. A hard working Parents and Citizens Committee and strong community support help to enrich all of our school programs. Parental involvement is highly valued and is an important part of the school's culture.

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.
