Sunshine Bay Public School

Approximately 390 students learn in a pleasant, well-resourced environment that aims to maximise each child's academic, physical, social, cultural and moral needs. A strong discipline system supported by a committed support team, ensures students learn in a happy and safe environment. Reward and acknowledgement practices help to motivate and inspire our children. Students undertake literacy and numeracy programs based on their developmental level as opposed to the traditional age/grade method. Strong support for children experiencing a range of difficulties is provided via an early student support program, a support teacher and a learning support coordinator. A stringed instrument band caters for musically-inclined students and a range of extra- curricular opportunities, including a comprehensive excursion program, helps to enhance the primary experience. Our staff, supported by an active P and C, are experienced, dedicated and continually examine better ways of achieving outcomes for our children. In addition to literacy and numeracy, quality teaching in the classroom and developing technology to aid learning continue to be priorities.

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.
