Woniora Road School

Woniora Road School is a NSW Government school for specific purposes. The school caters directly for secondary aged students diagnosed with emotional disorders and mental health issues. Woniora Road School's mission is to provide a positive, supportive and engaging learning environment that promotes student success and wellbeing. This is achieved by delivering a range of quality, individualised education plans and support programs that address each student's unique academic, social and emotional needs. The school's effective wellbeing programs focus on developing social skills and encourage students to develop a sense of personal worth, responsibility and independent wellbeing management strategies. Woniora Road School also has a strong emphasis on academic achievement and attainment. Students access mainstream curriculum support through Sydney Distance Education High School. The school also offers specialised academic programs such as individual literacy and numeracy tutorial programs. The school implements a range of engagement programs with both a vocational and therapeutic focus that improve students' attendance and community participation, and prepares them for work or further learning. Woniora Road School endeavours to create and maintain productive partnerships with parents, carers and the wider community. Their assistance in building an ongoing culture of support is highly valuable. The school enrols 42 students, and the length of enrolment is based on a regular appraisal of students' emotional needs and abilities. Enrolment at our school is decided by a placement panel and referral to Woniora Road School can be made via the student's current High School.

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.
