Warragamba Public School

Warragamba Public School opened in 1948 and is situated in a semi-rural area of Western Sydney, adjacent to Warragamba Dam. It serves a supportive and close knit community. Warragamba Public School is situated in a very established community which is characterised by caring parents, a high level of interest in education and a willingness to be involved in the school community. The school's vision is to provide an attractive, safe and caring school environment where effective and diverse teaching and learning take place. This is achieved via a culture of inclusivity and a willingness to adopt new strategies and take new directions in all areas of student achievement. The school has a reputation for academic, sporting and cultural achievements and is currently in a period characterised by growth of the student body. The physical face of the school has changed over time with the construction of a new school hall, large COLA, extension of the administration block and refurbishment of student amenities. Warragamba Public School has also installed a number of Interactive White Boards in classrooms including the installation of a Connected Classrooms package. These resources open up a whole new dimension of teaching and learning for students and staff alike. Warragamba Public School enjoys the support of parents and students working together to develop a place of learning where traditional values are maintained while keeping pace with technological and social change.

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.
