St George Hospital School

St George Hospital School is a single classroom school located in the Paediatric Ward of St George Hospital. The school aims to provide a safe, caring and stimulating environment to students who are hospitalised. All students (Kindergarten to Year 12) from both public and private schools are offered educational support, either in the classroom or on the ward. Staff at St George Hospital School are experienced in working in a K-12 multi stage and multi disciplined educational setting. Continuity of education is maintained through communication and co-operation with home schools. The school also works in partnership with St George Hospital Mental Health Team, nursing staff, doctors and allied health professionals to provide appropriate individualised support to students. Transition programs are developed to assist students returning to school after extended stays in hospital. The school has laptops, software and cameras available for use by students, both on the ward and in the classroom. There is a continuing focus on extending staff technological skills and expanding ICT resources. As a result a range of innovative programs are available to students. The support that St George Hospital School provides to students is highly valued by families, staff and hospital community members and promotes a positive profile for Public 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.
