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.
Student Behaviour Policy
Revised Student Behaviour Policy
The NSW Department of Education's revised Student Behaviour Policy and new Suspension and Expulsion Procedures, came into effect at the start of Term 1, 2024.
Our school has a strong commitment to making sure our classrooms are safe and inclusive for all students and staff.
This commitment is reflected in the revised policy and procedures.
We will continue to work closely with families and students to maintain positive and respectful classrooms where our students can thrive.
We utilise the PBL framework for our school behaviour policy:
