St George School

St George School is a special school for students with severe physical and multiple disabilities from preschool to year 12. The school is located in the Sydney Region of NSW Department of Education and Training on a shared site with Moorefield Girls' HS, James Cook Boys' Technology HS and St George TAFE. The school delivers a curriculum that is appropriate to the needs of students with severe and multiple disabilities within the Board of Studies Key Learning Areas and syllabus framework. Student learning outcomes are identified and addressed through the development and implementation of individualised learning plans and supported by a number of whole-school programs including communication, literacy, physical management, hydrotherapy, health care and personal care. The individualised plan is developed through a collaborative process involving teachers, parents, school learning support officers, therapists and other personnel as required. A thematic approach is used as a framework for addressing individual student learning outcomes and the delivery of curriculum. The Sydney Region placement panel coordinates the referral and offer of placement into the school. The school has strong links with local community groups including Rockdale Council, Kogarah Council, St George Leagues Club, Masonicare, St George Children with Disabilities Fund and the Lions Club.

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.
