Attendance

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.

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.

Our school uses the department's School Community Charter to ensure all of our communication is collaborative and respectful.

 

Missing school will affect your child's learning.

Sometimes things pop up which prevent students from attending school. When this happens, it is important to let us know. Please ring or write a note to your child's class teacher to explain their absence. For further information regarding school attendance, go to:

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.
