Sherwood Grange Public School

Sherwood Grange Public School is a proud learning community. Quality teaching, student engagement and differentiation of the curriculum are the focus of every classroom. We provide well planned, stimulating learning experiences across the six Key Learning Areas that are designed to cater for individual needs and maximise learning outcomes. Excellence is promoted across all aspects of school life. Areas of strength for the school include systematic and explicit literacy and numeracy programs; our Kindergarten Preparation Program; excellence in public speaking; an integrated school values program; our school choir and dance group; links with local high schools that include gifted and talented programs and transition programs; and physical education/sports programs. We are situated in a quiet pocket of well-maintained suburban streets. Our facilities include air-conditioned classrooms, computer labs, electronic whiteboards, a well-resourced library, a new school hall and Before and After School Care on site. Our school grounds are spacious and well equipped. We have an oval, multi-purpose courts, fixed equipment, covered play areas and seating areas shaded by trees. Students, staff and parents follow our school motto of 'Strive to Improve'. Our students are expected to: wear full school uniform; accept and display our school values; adhere to the Core Rules for students in NSW Public Schools; and commit wholeheartedly to their learning so as to achieve their personal best. Our teachers are dedicated, hardworking professionals who: strive to meet the learning, social and emotional needs of every student; are concerned with the education and welfare of all students; plan, prepare, implement, assess and evaluate learning programs that cater for the needs of every student; provide a high quality, safe, supportive and engaging environment for their students; and set high expectations for student achievement. Our parents, caregivers and community volunteers: are integral to our learning community; have high expectations; run a proactive, supportive, hardworking P and C; and support our students and our school in a range of ways (e.g. fundraising, playgroup for preschool age children, classroom reading tutors, administration and library support, sports coaching).

New public preschool,100 new public preschools: Sherwood Grange Public Preschool

As part of the plan to rebuild public education, the NSW Government is investing $769 million to deliver 100 new public preschools, co-located with public primary schools in NSW, to boost access to public preschool across the state. This is the largest investment in public preschools in NSW history, helping more children access a preschool program before starting school. Work is underway to deliver a new public preschool at Sherwood Grange Public School. The new public preschool will provide quality, play-based, intentional learning programs guided by the Early Years Learning Framework in a safe and engaging environment for preschool children. The preschool will accommodate up to 40 children per day.

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 strive to ensure every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander learner in NSW achieves their potential through education.
