Understanding school policies

Want to know how things like behaviour, attendance or mobile phone use are handled in NSW public schools?

Our school follows policies set by the NSW Department of Education. These policies guide our school practices to provide a safe, fair and supportive environment for every student and help families understand what to expect from us.

Rules and Policies

Rules and policies are in place to make sure your child remains safe and well at school.

Visit the NSW Department of Education’s  policy library  for all current operational policies.

Our school uses the department's  School Community Charter  to ensure all of our communication is collaborative and respectful.

Attendance and absences

Students must attend school regularly so they can achieve their educational best and increase their career and life options.

In NSW, all children from the age of 6 are legally required to attend school or be  registered for home schooling  through the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA). All students must complete Year 10, or its equivalent and remain in school, employment or training until they turn 17.

School frameworks (school rules)

As well as following the department’s operational policies, we have developed frameworks for our students in line with our school’s values and commitments.
