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

The annual report provides an account of our operations and achievements throughout the year. It is the result of rigorous self-assessment by staff, parents and carers, as well as student leaders.

Download our annual reports for a detailed account of:

• the progress we have made to provide high-quality educational opportunities for every child as set out in the school plan
• the impact of our strategies for improved learning
• the benefit to all students from resources including equity funding
• our operations and achievements throughout the year.

School Excellence Plan

We have developed a School Excellence Plan (SEP) in consultation with our community, identifying student outcomes and connected to a budget.

The  School Excellence Framework  (SEF) underpins our school planning and reporting approach. The framework provides a clear description of the key elements of high-quality practice across learning, teaching and leading.

The SEP is a working document that details the steps our school will take to improve learning outcomes, and the achievement and growth of all students. To ensure continuous improvement, the SEP reflects where our school is at and how it will further improve learning, teaching and leading.

It demonstrates our alignment and our commitment to excellence as part of public education in NSW to ensure a profound difference to the ongoing growth and development of our students.

We are currently developing our new school plan.  Our previous school plan is below:

School behaviour support and management plan

We are committed to ensuring a safe and happy environment for your child.

We support your child’s health and safety through a range of strategies including:

• the  behaviour code for students, which outlines the standards of behaviour expected in all NSW public schools
• anti-racism  education
• anti-bullying  programs
• conflict resolution and mediation training
• peer support
• road safety education
• the  Healthy School Canteen Strategy.

For more information, visit the  student wellbeing section  of the department’s website.

Like all NSW public schools, we promote the healthy development of students through:

• school programs and practices that protect and promote health and safety
• supporting individual students who need help with health issues
• providing first aid and temporary care of students who become unwell or who have an accident at school.

Student wellbeing

Like all NSW public schools, we provide safe learning and teaching environments to encourage healthy, happy, successful and productive students.

The department is committed to creating quality learning opportunities for children and young people. These opportunities support wellbeing through positive and respectful relationships and fostering a sense of belonging to the school and community.

The  Wellbeing Framework for Schools  helps schools support the cognitive, physical, social, emotional and spiritual development of students and allows them to connect, succeed and thrive throughout their education.

Positive Behaviour for Learning

At our school, we use  Positive Behaviour for Learning  which is a whole-school approach for creating a positive, safe and supportive school climate where students can learn and develop. Our whole school community works together to establish expected behaviours and teach them to all students.
