School policies and reports
School policies and reports help families understand how our school is run and how we support student learning and wellbeing.
They include our school plan, annual report, and any local school rules or policies. These documents outline our goals, track progress, and set clear expectations to create a safe and supportive environment for every student.
School rules
Alongside the NSW Department of Education’s policies listed below, our school has developed its own rules and guidelines that reflect our values and community.
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.
Young people below the age of 17 who have completed Year 10 must be:
- in school, or registered for home schooling
- in approved education or training, such as a traineeship, apprenticeship or TAFE
- in full-time paid employment (average 25 hours a week)
- in a combination of work, education and/or training (average of 25 hours a week combined).
Students 17 years and over who are enrolled in school must attend school regularly to meet HSC course requirements.
As a parent or carer, you are responsible for ensuring your child attends school every day when they are of compulsory school age. You must explain all absences to the school within 7 days.

Understanding school policies
Want to know how things like behaviour, attendance or phone use are handled in public schools? NSW public schools follow clear, consistent policies set by the NSW Department of Education to support student learning and wellbeing.
These policies help families understand what to expect and how schools create safe, fair and supportive environments for every child.
Our school report
Each year, we reflect on the progress we’ve made and share it through our annual school report.
The report highlights our achievements, challenges and growth — giving families and our wider community a clear picture of how we’re tracking. It’s part of our commitment to being open, accountable and always improving.

School Behaviour Support and Management Plan
The School Behaviour Support and Management Plan is a framework designed to create a positive and safe learning environment for all students. It outlines clear expectations for behaviour, promotes respect and responsibility, and provides consistent strategies to support students in making positive choices. This plan helps staff, students, and families work together to foster a respectful school community where every student can thrive.
