Newling Public School

Newling is situated in the city of Armidale, northern NSW. Our school fosters a positive, caring atmosphere welcoming regular input from the whole school community. Our students are encouraged to take a positive active role in their learning, along with parents. The experienced staff are professionally committed and supportive of the whole school community, working and functioning as an efficient and effective team. Newling maintains a supportive environment conducive to the learning, growth and development of all. Our recent NAPLAN results indicate exceptional growth in Numeracy, Grammar and Punctuation and Reading. This success is indicative of the quality teaching, programs and effective use of resources within the school. Unique features of the school include extensive use of the latest technology throughout the school, spacious modern classrooms and collaborative teacher practice managed by Instructional Leaders. The new Collaborative Learning Centre and all classrooms are fully equipped with the latest wireless computers and display technology allowing students' access to ICT and information from around the globe, further enhancing learning opportunities for students. Newling has innovatively used additional funding and available resources to provide extensive intervention and implementation of individualised programs. Team teaching in each class ensures that students are given every opportunity to reach their academic potential. The Newling tradition of producing sporting heroes continues; Cadell Evans and Dean Widders are both ex-Newling students, and each year students achieve representation at state level in a variety of sporting areas. Newling also has regular success in the Creative and Performing Arts with regular representation at presentations and exhibitions. By embracing the core values of Australian society, Newling is committed to providing an educational framework that results in individuals who will be confident future citizens, able to have a positive influence in their community.

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.
