Sutherland Hospital School

The Sutherland Hospital School is a K to12 facility providing educational services within the Children's Ward of Sutherland Hospital for children from 3 to18 years. The students are predominantly from southern Sydney and are hospitalised through illness, accident, disease, trauma, for medical procedures and for psychological or social reasons. Children either attend the Hospital schoolroom or have an educational service delivered to their bedside on a daily basis for periods ranging from several days to several months. The school aims to provide continuity and quality education to school students who are hospitalised whilst offering support to students and families to ensure a smooth transition to regular schools.

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.
