Wheeler Heights Public School

Wheeler Heights Public School is located in a beautiful and picturesque bushy environment on Collaroy Plateau, overlooking Narrabeen Lake. Our expansive grounds include a newly turfed oval, two tennis/basketball courts, two fixed play equipment areas, mulitple undercover areas and a natural environmental play area for the K-2 children. The school has two vegetable garden areas, actively recycles and has six school chickens producing eggs for our canteen. Our highly skilled and committed teaching staff work closely with parents to provide a wide range of opportunities for all students to achieve their 'Personal Best' in a safe, stimulating and happy school environment. The values of 'Respect' and 'Responsibility' underpin our school culture, and are reflected in our wide ranging achievements and positive school climate. At Wheeler Heights Public School there are many opportunities for students to experience leadership and success through our strong student leadership program, our 'buddy program' and the democratic decision making opportunities provided by the Student Representative Council. Students are happy and proud of their school, and demonstrate their willingness to participate in the wide range of educational opportunities offered to them. Academic results in all Key Learning Areas reflect high expectations and standards. The Wheeler Heights OOSH Centre offers excellent before and after school care, in addition to an active vacation childcare program. Wheeler Heights Public School is a member of the award-winning Peninsula Community of Schools, a partnership of thirteen local primary and secondary schools, with strong links and learning opportunities to Macquarie University. An involved and supportive parent community assists the school in providing extensive extra curricular programs such as band, dance, choir,chess and enrichment activities which enhance the educational opportunities at Wheeler Heights Public School.

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.
