Illawong Public School

Illawong Public School is a small community school set in beautiful natural bushland. The school strives for excellence through the individual development of students in acquiring knowledge, skills, attitudes and values which enable them to become responsible members of society. The school endeavours to empower students to take responsibility for their own learning and make it a lifelong process. The school offers a variety of extra-curricular activities such as dance, PSSA, steel and instrumental bands, guitar, violin, choir and debating. The school's academic focus is on Literacy, Numeracy and Technology, which are taught within a strong quality teaching framework. The school offers opportunities for leadership through Student Parliament. The school is part of the Community of Schools between the River (made up of eight public schools), which provides opportunities for the Gifted and Talented and also provides excellent opportunities for transition to school at all levels of education. Our strong relationship between the local preschools enables a positive start to school when children enter kindergarten.

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.
