Conservatorium High School

The Conservatorium High School is the secondary arm of the Conservatorium of Music in Sydney, NSW and the State's only specialist music high school. Established at the behest of Henri Verbrugghen, inaugural director of the NSW State Conservatorium of Music, the school enrolled its first students in 1918. From the school's inception, Conservatorium High students constituted an elite core of the State's premiere music institution. This was Henri Verbrugghen's vision. Not surprisingly, the school numbers amongst its alumni some of Australia's most acclaimed performers, teachers and composers, musicians who have made their mark in all facets of the music profession. The School remains true to its founder's vision - to provide the State's brightest and most musically gifted teenagers with the very best musical training while ensuring they received an excellent, broadly-based secondary education. Through its school-based programmes and its special relationship with Sydney University's Faculty of Music which administers The Con's tertiary arm, the Conservatorium High School continues to provide its students with music-educational opportunities unsurpassed in this country.

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.
