Girrakool School
Girrakool ETU provides educational and vocational programs for males aged 16 to 21. Students are drawn from throughout NSW. The ETU mission is 'to create a positive learning environment and to facilitate each student's successful integration into their community'. A variety of credentialed curriculum is provided which covers remedial, academic, recreational and vocational courses. The ETU operates in partnership with its immediate community and a number of other external agencies. These agencies all have representation on the Local Education and Training Consultative Committee (LEATCC), which identifies the significant courses of study for the students. In 2009, around 340 students enrolled at Girrakool ETU. Of these, approximately 45% identified as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, and about a further 25% were from LOTE backgrounds, mainly Pacific Island, Arabic and south-east Asian cultures. Of the students who were in the centre for the required length of time, 94% successfully completed NSW BOS or TAFE courses in 2009.

Demountables
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.
