Turramurra Public School

Turramurra Public School (TPS) is situated in the upper North Shore area of Sydney. Its name is derived from the Aboriginal word meaning 'placed on the hill'. The school is set on extensive grounds with buildings clustered at either end of large playing fields. The school caters for students K to 6 and school planning reflects a strong inclusive ethos. TPS sets high educational standards for our students and this is nurtured through positive practice, PBL -Positive Behaviour for Learning, collaborative approaches and extensive opportunities for our students. The school provides quality teaching and learning programs, outstanding band and choral programs, K to 6 buddy programs and specialist sport and music programs. We also offer robotics, student representative council, chess club, public speaking and debating opportunities, extensive specialist sport programs and a specialist dance program. We have a comprehensive well-being policy which underpins a proud school culture that demonstrates the Department of Education's core values and a commitment to teacher professional learning to enhance and enrich student outcomes.The school benefits from our connection to the Turramurra Learning Community which has enhanced links with Turramurra High School and our local business owners. Each year the school sets a number of focus areas to improve upon our excellent student achievement levels.

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.
