Woonona East Public School

Woonona East Public School serves a coastal suburban community north of Wollongong and caters for 220 students. The three core values of respect, responsibility and resilience foster a secure environment where all children can learn with confidence and where additional needs are supported and talents fostered. The experienced teaching staff, supported by in-depth and ongoing professional learning, provide a balanced and engaging curriculum for students. Emphasis is placed upon the development of sound literacy and numeracy skills in combination with student health and well-being programs and experiences in the creative and performing arts including the school band, choir and public speaking programs. The school has a strong sporting tradition and initiatives in fitness and sport ensure that Woonona East is a health-promoting school. The development of students' technology skills is fostered via the modern computer laboratory, interactive whiteboards in all classrooms, iPad and Bring Your Own Device programs. A new hall, refurbishments to school facilities and landscaping of the grounds combine to create a spacious, attractive and functional environment for students. The school is strongly supported by an enthusiastic and informed parent body via the Parents and Citizens Association. Woonona East Public School is a proud member of the Woonona Community of Schools and the Illawarra Visible Learning Community of Schools.

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.
