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.

Attendance and absences

Parent/s and carers should ensure their child/children arrive at school at the commencement of each school day, prior to the school bell.  Parents are required to notify the school, in writing, whenever their child is absent for any reason.  This note should be provided for full day absences and sent with the child when they return to school.

School frameworks (school rules)
