Bankstown Hospital School

Bankstown Hospital School provides education for hospitalised students in Years K to12. The school classroom is located within the Children's Ward of Bankstown Hospital. Students come from the south-western suburbs of Sydney and are hospitalised as a result of illness, accident or for medical procedures. Students attend the Hospital School for periods ranging from several days to several months. Our mission is to provide continuity of education for hospitalised students and to facilitate a smooth transition back to the home school. The school works in collaboration with the home school of long term students to ensure that they are working on a program that is closely aligned with their peers at school. This ensures a smooth transition back to school following a period of hospitalisation. Teaching takes place both in the classroom and also at the bedside of students who are unable to get out of bed and come to class due to their medical condition. Teaching is either in a small group situation or on a one to one basis. The classroom is a multi-age class as students from K to 12 are catered for.

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.
