Wilkins Public School

Wilkins Public School is a learning community of students, teachers, parents and community members. We strive to develop a holistic child within an academic and artistic curriculum. The school serves its surrounding suburbs of Petersham, Marrickville and Dulwich Hill and beyond with our mainstream and opportunity class programs. Wilkins Public School is attractive and modern with large playing areas and an assembly hall which doubles as a gymnasium, landscaped inner playground and a well-resourced library and technology room. We specialise in literacy and numeracy and the performing arts of music, dance and drama. We have a dedicated opportunity class for gifted and talented students in Years 5-6, and we offer enrichment programs from Kindergarten onwards. We have supportive programs in values and welfare and equity programs which are enriched by the diverse cultural backgrounds of our local community. We have a before and after school centre and pre-school. Our staff are dedicated, friendly and professional. Our parents play an active role in supporting education within the school as we work in partnership for the best outcomes for our students.

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.
