Barnier Public School

Barnier Public School's mission is to develop lifelong learners who are outstanding citizens.The school is underpinned by a philosphy that schools are about children, that our students' world is immersed in technology and so schools should replicate this world. Our school has placed a heavy emphasis on the delivery of the curriculum through technology to develop the most engaging learning environment possible. Our school has facilities that are 'state of the art' and has pioneered the development of the the integration of technology into teaching and learning. Students access technology from each of the networked classrooms and the technology centre in the library. There is a minimum of seven computers in every classroom and up to seventeen in our senior classes. A culture of high expectation for student learning is emphasised in all teaching and learning programs. We continually benchmark and monitor our students' progress in literacy and numeracy. Each of our students has a personal learning program designed to cater for his or her individual needs. We provide a broad range of extra curriculum programs including creative and practical arts, sport, debating and environmental education

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.
