Tangara School

Tangara SSP is a school which provides programs to support the development of students with moderate to severe intellectual disabilities. The school is in a rural environment, providing a calm and peaceful setting in which students learn to grow and progress towards a fulfilled, active life in our community. Our vision is to provide stimulating, quality programs within a supportive, caring environment so that all students may reach their full potential. This vision is achieved with parent and community support, a supportive, meaningful and active team approach, and thorough, carefully-negotiated and planned programs designed to meet individual student needs. Through close liaison with community agencies, community volunteers, and the NSW Department of Education and Training, Tangara SSP offers a wide range of academic, therapeutic, vocational training, independent living and leisure programs for students whose ages range from four to eighteen.The school website provides an informative and pictorial presentation of the 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 strive to ensure every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander learner in NSW achieves their potential through education.
