Picnic Point High School

Picnic Point High School was established in 1962 and has an excellent reputation for providing quality education within a caring and well disciplined environment. The school strives to create a dynamic learning environment that encourages all students to achieve their personal best and become responsible, informed citizens. The school's image in the community is enhanced by students' exemplary achievements in external exams, the wide range of students' sporting achievements and the variety and professional quality of students' activities in the performing arts. The growth in the school population has enabled us to offer a very diverse curriculum while still maintaining a strong, nurturing student welfare program focused on close contact with students and their parents. The Parents and Citizens Association strongly support the schools vision and work collaboratively with all staff to assist with future directions.

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.
