Sussex Inlet Public School

Sussex Inlet Public School (SIPS) has a commitment to quality and caring in all it does. It enjoys the support of a committed Parents and Citizens Association. We enter into partnerships with parents, carers, other government agencies and community organisations to provide support and quality experiences for all our students and their families. We encourage participation of the school community in planning, implementing and leading school programs and in developing and evaluating plans and policies. All students are encouraged to achieve their personal best in academic, social, sporting, creative and cultural programs. This is supported by our work in the Positive Behaviour for Learning program and the values of Fairness, Inclusivity, Safety and Honesty (FISH) to which we are committed. The school has a strong focus on the use of technology for teaching and learning and is well equipped to take this program forward into the future. An emphasis on coding and robotics has seen the establishment of a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) room. Our School Plan outlines our three Strategic Directions of:

Community
Future Focused Learning
Quality Teaching and Learning in Literacy and Numeracy.

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.
