Irrawang High School

Irrawang High School is committed to a broad, balanced and relevant curriculum rivalling the best that other schools can offer in specialised areas such as sport, performing arts and vocational education, whilst continuing to offer the best features of a local comprehensive high school. We have an expansive and supportive welfare program as well as offering Special Education classes. In-class tutors provide support to Aboriginal students and we have a number of programs to cater for students at risk. Transition programs operate with our partner primary schools. We offer cheerleading, drum corps, Plan it Youth and mentoring of Defence Force students. We aim to provide all students with a balanced, general education and with the opportunity to extend their education in order to prepare more thoroughly for the world of work, for higher education and for citizenship. The school aims to know and care for students as individuals, endeavouring to develop in them self respect, self confidence, a sense of their individuality and a sense of belonging. We have an experienced, motivated and caring teaching and support staff who aim to develop students' aptitudes, abilities and interests to the maximum.

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.
