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.
Anti-bullying policy
Students need to learn to satisfy their needs in a way that respects the rights of others. Students need to develop an understanding that as individuals, they are responsible for their actions. Part of the learning process is developing strategies to act in a responsible manner within the expectations of our society.
The Niagara Park Public School community will work to improve learning outcomes in a happy, cooperative and safe environment, respecting the rights of others and developing reliance, high self-esteem and self-confidence.
