OUR MASTERPLAN
At Nicholson Street Public School, we’re dedicated to creating the best environment for our students' education. Our P&C team is committed to building strong relationships with the community and suppliers to provide outstanding facilities and experiences. Over the years, we’ve proudly completed incredible projects, turning our design masterplan into reality with the launch of the outdoor learning centre, a new sports court, soft play area, and restrooms—and there’s more to come!
With plenty of space for kids to run and play during lunch breaks, we take their enjoyment seriously. Our outdoor areas are equipped to handle both rainy days and scorching hot weather. The new sports court provides students with a venue to play, expend energy, and bond with peers who share their interests. Plus, classic playground favourites like a slippery dip and monkey bars make sure kids can have fun and simply be kids!
It's all part of a masterplan to ensure that students at Nicholson Street Public School are getting the best education.
OUR HALLOWEEN FESTIVAL
On Saturday October 28th, Nicho welcomed the community for the annual Halloween Festival. With the sun shining and tombola jars sparkling, around 1,500 guests enjoyed hours of fun, food, and entertainment. This year, the covered outdoor learning area was showcased for the first time, becoming a lively spot for coffee, sweets, fortune telling, and face painting, while families relaxed on the amphitheatre steps. October proved to be an incredibly successful month, raising $33k through various events, including the referendum BBQ, Loyalty Square fun day, and the Festival Day, all supporting our teachers and future school improvements.
SOLAR POWER
The Healthy Classroom's subcommittee has proposed installing solar power across the school as part of a program with the Department of Education and Inner West Council. The total cost is estimated at $35,275, with a payback period of 2.4 years and annual savings of $9,700 against a $17,000 investment. The costs will be split evenly, with 50% covered by the Department of Education and 50% funded through grants pursued by Nicholson Street's P&C, including $14,000 from the community building partnership grant and a pending $3,637 request from the Purryburry Trust. We’re now awaiting guidance from the Department on the next steps and anticipate moving forward within the next month. Stay tuned!
OUR SCHOOL IS COOL
Students and teachers are now enjoying a much cooler environment in the heritage-listed classrooms, teachers' lounge, and principal's office. Over the summer break, we successfully installed five ducted air-conditioning units in the roof to meet heritage requirements, with individual controls added in each room. A big thank you to everyone who supported, researched, presented, and persevered with this project over the years. Fantastic job!
