Our policies and reports

Our policies and reports help families understand how our school works. Our annual report and school plan show what we’ve done and how we’re improving each year.  Our policies address attendance, absences, behaviour, uniform and how we respond to your concerns.

Annual school report

Each year, we share our progress in the annual school report. It gives families a clear picture of how our school is performing and how we’re supporting every student’s success. The report reflects our commitment to openness, accountability and continuous improvement.

The report includes:

• what we’re doing well and where we’re improving
• student achievement and academic progress
• our school vision and goals
• key highlights and milestones
• challenges we’ve faced and how we’re addressing them.

School excellence plan

Our school excellence plan (SEP) is a working document that shows our priorities in learning, teaching and leading. It explains our focus areas for improvement and how we plan to get there. We write our SEP with help from our school community so it reflects our shared priorities.

School behaviour support and management plan

Our school has a school behaviour support and management plan (SBSMP). The SBSMP helps us create a safe, respectful and supportive learning environment for all students. It sets clear expectations for student behaviour. This includes how we respond to bullying and cyberbullying. We work together with our school community to shape the plan and review it each year.

Student Use of Digital Devices and Online Services

The NSW Government has banned mobile phone use during school hours at public schools and therefore the school strongly advises that mobile phones are not brought to school. In some cases, parents and carers require their child to carry a mobile phone. Parents and carers need to complete and sign a ‘request for student use of a mobile phone’ form and return it to the office.

Procedure

Mobile phones must be handed in at the office at the commencement of the school and placed in the secure storage box. These can be collected by the student at the end of the day. Under no circumstances should the phone be used whilst the student is at school. The phone is to be switched off prior to entering the school gates and is not to be switched back on until students leave school premises. If a student has a phone in their bag the teacher will request the phone and will store it in the office until the end of the day, when the student is then able to pick it up.

Consequences

If a student is found to have a phone in their bag on more than one occasion, the phone will be stored with the Deputy Principal and a parent will be asked to collect the phone. This prohibition includes mobile phones and extends to, smart watches and any types of cameras or tracking devices. The school accepts no responsibility for loss or damage.

If students use online services inappropriately they will be managed using school’s behaviour management plan and wellbeing and discipline procedures.
