Gundagai High School

Gundagai High School is a small rural secondary school with long held traditions in innovative curriculum structure and student wellbeing. The School's executive team has explored a variety of options for preserving choice and diversity of course offerings to meet both student needs and parental expectation. This involves an ongoing review of curriculum structures to preserve a comprehensive education within the systemic requirements. Gundagai High School students therefore enjoy a wide-ranging curriculum that is comparable to those of much larger secondary schools. The Learning and Wellbeing policy and procedures focus on the recognition of student achievement in academic, cultural, sporting and community areas of school life. It also aims at promoting self esteem and pride in both the school and the community. The school's mission is to develop the potential of each student through the provision of quality educational experiences and, in doing so, to produce competent and confident citizens.

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.
