Estella Public School

Estella Public School is a newly established school, opening to staff and students on Monday 27th January 2021. Located north of the Murrumbidgee River in the suburb of Estella, Wagga Wagga, Estella Public School is built on the lands of the traditional owners, the Wiradjuri people. Built to support our rapidly growing community, our school is designed to accommodate up to 480 students. The school was built using Design for Manufacture Assembly (DfMA) building methods and features 16 state of the art classroom, specifically designed to facilitate innovative, flexible and collaborative teaching and learning styles. Our setting also includes special programs rooms for activity-based learning, purpose-built hall, library, outdoor multipurpose activity areas, canteen and administration and staff facilities. Our school provides an inclusive, caring and dynamic environment where every student is known, valued and cared for. Our experienced and dedicated staff are committed to evidence informed, explicit teaching, that is responsive to student needs and drives a supportive culture of high expectations. Comprehensive curriculum and learning programs enrich and foster success in academic endeavour, sport and the arts and enhances the academic growth and wellbeing of all students. Estella Public School has established strong partnerships with our local and wider communities. We work collaboratively with our local Aboriginal Education Consultative Group (AECG) and have joint agreements with Charles Sturt University (CSU) and Wagga Wagga City Council (WWCC). Our school also has a highly supportive and productive P and C Association who meet once a month; and Their Care is our Out of School Hours Care (OSHC) provider, who support our families in delivering before and after school care for 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.
