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.

Please note that rolls are marked each day by 9am. If your child arrives after 8.55am, they must report to the office and obtain a late note to present to their class teacher.
Absentee notes can be submitted using the eform through our SkoolBag app. Absences can also be called through to our office.
The A - Z Too Sick For School list is a great resource for parents who are unsure whether to keep their child home from school due to illness.
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.
Our School Anti-Bullying Plan
This plan outlines the processes for preventing and responding to student bullying in our school and reflects the Bullying: Preventing and Responding to Student Bullying in Schools Policy of the New South Wales Department of Education and Communities.
This plan was initially developed in collaboration with staff involved in our Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) Team. Parents were invited to view a draft version of the plan posted on the school website or pick up a hard copy from school. Feedback via any mode was encouraged.
Students involved in the Student Representative Council were also consulted on key elements of the plan before it was finalised. The plan was presented by the Principal at a regular P&C meeting on the 22nd August 2016. The plan will be implemented from Term 4, 2016 and evaluated on an ongoing basis and formally reviewed at least once every three years.
