Hoxton Park High School

Hoxton Park High School is a comprehensive, co-educational high school that welcomes and accommodates students from different backgrounds and with different learning needs. The school has adopted the four core values of care, respect, participation and excellence. The school population is diverse, with more than 72% of students coming from non-English speaking backgrounds. There are more than 10 different cultures represented in the school population. The school is proud of its strong multicultural tradition and the values students learn about tolerance of diversity and inclusivity. The curriculum caters for all students through a broad range of subjects including academic courses, vocational education (VET) in Hospitality, Retail, Information Technology, Primary Industries, Sports Coaching, Construction and Metal and Engineering, school based apprenticeships and traineeships (SBAT) and TAFE courses. Gifted and talented students are catered for within the Self Select class program and the provision of a differentiated curriculum, catering for all learners. The school is part of the Australian Business and Community Network (ABCN) with strong links with AMEX, Optus, Gemworth and University of Western Sydney as business partners. The school has a comprehensive student leadership and welfare program which includes strong links with partner primary schools. The school is part of the Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) program and the Australian Government Quality Teaching Program (AGQTP). Students excel academically, in the arts, citizenship and sporting arenas. We work with our school community to provide greater learning opportunities for our students. Our school encourages students, through the 'Hoxton Honour Code' to take pride in themselves, have high expectations and value learning. Strong school partnerships with parent and community groups, an emphasis on quality teaching and learning, leadership and supportive student welfare initiatives have served to increase the esteem with which the school is held in the wider community. We are committed to the continued improvement of our student learning outcomes whilst enhancing the whole development of our young men and women

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.
