Weston Public School

Weston Public School is located three kilometres west of Kurri Kurri and aims to promote individual student development through effective education in an environment that is safe and happy, offering continuous student progress through the use of outcomes which guide all curriculum areas and promote the use of technology. We receive extra financial support from the Priority Schools Program (PSP). School core values and student welfare efforts reflect those promoted by the NSW Department of Education and Training and our school actively promotes the 'You Can Do It' program, a Red Cross Breakfast Club and intra and extra-mural activities. Additionally the school has commenced training for involvement in the National Partnerships Program running over the next six years. The school is supported by an active Parents and Citizens Association and, together with our partner schools of Kurri Kurri High, Kurri Kurri Public, Pelaw Main Public, Mulbring Public and Stanford Merthyr Infants, we form a united relationship through the Kurri Kurri Learning Community.

New public preschool: New public preschool at Weston Public School

The NSW Government's 2023-24 Budget is delivering a record $8.8 billion for new and upgraded schools. This targeted investment in growing communities will ensure working families get access to a world class public education. As part of the plan to rebuild essential services, the NSW Government has invested $769 million to deliver 100 new public preschools, including building a new preschool at every new government primary school in NSW, to boost access to preschool across the state. The location of the public preschools have been selected based on careful evaluation and selection criteria with considerations to educational need and demand, how children grow and learn, infrastructure feasibility, and insights gained through consultation. Early planning is underway to consider the needs of the local area now and into the future to ensure the right preschool is designed for the community. Consultants have been engaged and site due diligence activities are underway. We will share information throughout this project and update this dedicated project page to keep everyone informed about the progress we are making. For the most up-to-date planning updates and reports, we encourage you to visit our library.

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.
