Royal North Shore Hospital School

Royal North Shore Hospital School is a Kindergarten to Year 12 School for Specific Purposes providing educational services for all school-age patients from all sectors of schooling admitted to Royal North Shore Hospital. Students may be hospitalised due to illness, disease, accident, trauma, mental health issues or for medical procedures. School staff are part of a multidisciplinary team working closely with a range of health professionals, planning and monitoring the management of a child's hospital stay. The school provides a caring, inclusive, positive, and engaging environment which enables students to maintain educational continuity and to experience a smooth and positive transition to their home school or other facility. School staff work collaboratively as a team, in consultation with parents and the home school, to deliver educational programs that are appropriate and meaningful for each student.The school culture has an emphasis on welfare, developing positive relationships with students and parents and so encouraging effective partnerships with the school. This enables quality individual learning programs to be planned and implemented so students can gain optimum educational and health outcomes.

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.
