Hay War Memorial High School

Hay War Memorial High School was established in 1923 as a co-educational comprehensive high school and has a strong tradition befitting a war memorial linked to the ANZAC tradition. The school is the only war memorial high school in the Commonwealth of Nations. The school has a unique background, close community ties and an ability to provide a personal educational experience for the students. The school provides broad-ranging outcomes to meet student needs and has developed a distinctive blend of traditional values and innovative educational practices that ensure a well rounded education. The ability of the school to provide a compressed curriculum for Years 11 and 12 offers students a broad range of courses. An extensive range of Vocational Education courses are also offered in the senior years. The provision of vertical elective classes in Years 9 and 10 allows students to experience a diversity of subjects. A supportive staff, community and student body enhances the rich traditions of our unique 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.
