Dorchester School

Dorchester School is a Department of Education and Training, Community Care School. Dorchester is located within the grounds of Reiby Juvenile Justice Centre (JJC) and only draws on the student body from within Reiby JJC. Reiby JJC is primarily a committal centre for juveniles aged between ten and sixteen years old. The school teaching programs are generally delivered to whole classes with a specific focus on individual education and training plans. Students may also access programs provided by Juvenile Justice and Distance Education. The school aims to provide a stable caring environment where educational, behavioural and self esteem programs can be implemented to enhance the student's successful reintegration into his local community when he is discharged from Reiby JJC.

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 strive to ensure every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander learner in NSW achieves their potential through education.
