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.

For more information about compulsory school attendance, visit:

Arriving late

Children who arrive at school after 8.45am must go to the school office and obtain a late arrival note. Late arrivals are noted in school registers and consistent late arrivals are referred to the Home School liaison Officer

Leaving early

Children are not allowed to leave school grounds early unless they are accompanied by an adult. Parents will need to come to the office and obtain an early departure slip which is given to the class teacher prior to collecting a child.

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.
