Grahamstown Public School

Grahamstown Public School is situated in the Lakeside area of Raymond Terrace, New South Wales and has established strong community support since it began operations in 1994. The school's motto, 'Growth Pride Success', and values of 'Respect, Responsibility and Pride' are supported by the four school rules of Act Safely, Be Respectful, Cooperate and Do Your Best. These values and rules are supported by our school vision of : Together we grow with pride, learn for life and strive to be the best that we can be! Grahamstown Public School's high profile in the community is a reflection of the positive and friendly school environment; high quality teaching and student welfare practices; extensive extra-curricular programs offered to students; the focus on student leadership; and a tradition of innovative and inclusive programs. Enrolment levels now allow for 13 classes, with the majority of students coming from the immediate neighbourhood. Approximately 14% of students are of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander background and 10% are from defence force families linked with the nearby Williamtown Air Base. The NSW Board of Studies curriculum is supported by strong programs in performing arts, sport and student leadership. The school community has greatly assisted the school in providing excellent facilities for enhanced programs for all students. Grahamstown Public School proudly caters for students of all backgrounds and abilities. Parents and community are invited to contact the school to gain more information about our award winning programs and school achievements.

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.
