Point Clare Public School

Point Clare Public School is situated on Brisbane Water Drive, serving the West Gosford, Point Clare, Tascott and Koolewong communities. Point Clare provides a range of quality educational and sporting programs as well as an array of creative and performance based extra-curricular activities.

Point Clare Public School is an inclusive, innovative and engaging learning environment that develops resilient, self directed learners. In our school the teaching, administrative and support staff are dedicated, accountable and inspiring professionals. Together we support the development of critical and creative thinkers and we make meaningful connections with our families and the wider community.

Connections with the school community are strengthened through an active P and C and student led initiatives including parliament, peer support and buddy groupings. The school enhances the educational opportunities afforded every student by building effective and productive relationships between the school and home.

Point Clare Public School has achieved outstanding NAPLAN results over the past four years and is currently implementing a Visible Learning - School Impact Program that focuses on delivering evidence based teaching and creating self-directed learners.

Departmental core values of respect, responsibility and participation are recognised through our Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) program which provides tangible rewards for personal responsibility, personal best academic achievement and respectful behaviour towards others.

Teaching and Learning programs are aligned to current NSW syllabus documents with student progress being addressed through Semester based written reports. All students are catered for through Stage based teaching programs, academic enrichment opportunities and/or acceleration where appropriate. We have a strong Learning Support team assisted by a School Counsellor and an experienced Literacy and Numeracy Intervention teacher.

Point Clare Public School embraces Aboriginal culture and is proudly part of the Coo-?inda Local Aboriginal Educational Consultative Group (AECG). Our school also has a diverse cultural make up with 79 EAL/D students enrolled representing 31 distinct nationalities. Point Clare Public School is also a productive and collaborative member of the Gosford Learning Community (GLC). The school takes a leading role in delivering professional development activities within the GLC and collaboratively celebrates Education Week and NAIDOC week with the other GLC schools.

Upgrade: Point Clare Public School completed project

Point Clare Public School takes great pride in providing a wide variety of educational, sporting, performing arts and social programs. These programs complement the comprehensive K-6 learning program. The two main aims of the project were to construct a new modern, multilevel building (allowing removal of all 12 demountable classrooms) and give an increased playground space to the students. These two major outcomes have provided spaces that enable collaborative indoor and outdoor learning. The capital works project will put the school in an excellent position to maintain its outstanding reputation in the community for many years to come.

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.
