Sharing our facilities
The NSW Department of ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø encourages members of the community and education groups to use school facilities when these are not required by the school.
Community use of school facilities:
- is encouraged, when school facilities are not required for school purposes
- must only be used for activities that do not interfere with the school’s teaching and learning programs
- must only be used for activities which are consistent with the values of public education
- must be consistent with the Sharing of School Facilities policy.
Community use applications are determined on whether:
- facilities are fit for the proposed use
- the proposed use is appropriate, and
- the community user is suitable.
Unless otherwise stated in the Sharing of School Facilities implementation procedures, a written agreement is required to clarify any fees payable and the rights and obligations of the department and the user.
