New school: Victoria Avenue Public School completed project

This project was one of the first NSW public schools that integrated community facilities and set a benchmark to encourage greater innovation in future public school design. The establishment of this new school caters for increased education demand from the Rhodes Peninsular and the Strathfield North and Parramatta Road development areas. In addition to the building of the new public school, the project incorporated a 47-place day care centre (operated by City of Canada Bay Council), an early childhood health centre (operated by NSW Health), shared community sports facilities and an enlarged hall that accommodates out of school hours community use. The hall, adjoining the community sports field, and the school’s multipurpose court, is available for community use outside of school hours, including Out Of School Hours (OOSH) care. This school marks the beginning of a new era of NSW public schools addressing the needs of students in the 21st Century.

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.
