Plumpton High School

Plumpton High School is located in an urban area serving a diverse population within a low socio-economic context. There are currently around 1100 students who attend the school, representing over 70 different nationalities and including about 75 Aboriginal students. With committed neighbourhood spirit, we work in a close, highly professional and strategic partnership with our primary partner schools to deliver innovative as well as outstanding academic and social curricula for students in our learning community, K to12. This is achieved through shared values and aligned K to12 teaching and learning projects. Although we operate as an individual school, our daily practices and future planning are integrated across the Plumpton Educational Community (PEC). As a result of the high-quality work which occurs on a daily basis at Plumpton High School, we received the Director-General's Award for Outstanding School Achievement, the Regional Director's Award for School Achievement for our work with PEC and the Regional Director's Award for Innovation in Technology. These awards are recognition of a culture which has challenged existing practices to create new possibilities for education provision, K to12.

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.
