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.
Young people below the age of 17 who have completed Year 10 must be:
in school, or registered for home schooling
in approved education or training, such as a traineeship, apprenticeship or TAFE
in full-time paid employment (average 25 hours a week)
in a combination of work, education and/or training (average of 25 hours a week combined).
Students 17 years and over who are enrolled in school must attend school regularly to meet HSC course requirements.
As a parent or carer, you are responsible for ensuring your child attends school every day when they are of compulsory school age. You must explain all absences to the school within 7 days.

Mobile Phone and Digital Device Policy
NSW Department of Education policy dictates that mobile phones are banned at all NSW schools.
To enhance student learning and wellbeing, the use of mobile phones and digital accessories is prohibited during school hours. Students must turn off their mobile phones and put their devices in a locked pouch for the full school day, including recess, lunch and sport. This policy is designed to:
- Minimise distractions and increase focus in the classroom
- Encourage positive social interactions
- Reduce the risk of online bullying
Our goal is to cultivate confident, successful learners, creative thinkers, and responsible, informed citizens. This is accomplished through continuous improvement, leadership development, and adherence to our core values: being Respect, Responsible and Achievement.
If parents or carers need to contact their child, they can call the school office on 02 6033 1889.
