Jewellery at school

At our school, the safety and wellbeing of all students is a priority. To help maintain a safe learning environment, we ask that all students adhere to our school jewellery guidelines.

Students are permitted to wear a watch and earrings only. All other jewellery should be left at home, as it can pose a safety risk during playground activities, sport and other school activities.

We understand that some students may wear necklaces for religious or cultural reasons. These are welcome; however, they must be kept underneath clothing and not visible to ensure the safety of all students. We appreciate your support in reinforcing these expectations with your child and helping us maintain a safe and inclusive school environment for everyone.

High expectations for student behaviour

At our school, we are committed to providing safe and positive learning environments for all students. We have introduced the updated Student code of conduct and reviewing the School behaviour support and management plan that will be implemented at our school by the end of 2026. This will help everyone understand what behaviour is expected and make sure every student feels safe and supported.

Strengthening our approach to bullying

At our school, every child deserves to feel safe, respected and supported. That's why we take all concerns about bullying—including online behaviour—very seriously. We are aligning with the NSW Anti-bullying Framework by the end of 2026 to strengthen how we prevent, identify and respond to bullying. As part of this commitment, we will take action to respond to reported bullying concerns. While some concerns can be resolved quickly, others may take more time to work through. We encourage you to let us know about any concerns as early as possible so we can work together to support your child and ensure they feel safe and supported at school.

Revised Student code of conduct

The Student code of conduct sets clear expectations for behaviour across all NSW public schools. It is designed to help all students understand what is expected of them and support them to be successful. It also helps us make our school an environment where every student feels safe, included and supported. We want every student to feel safe, respected and ready to learn. That's why we have three simple expectations for all students:

• Respect everyone
• Be responsible
• Be safe

These expectations apply wherever students are in the classroom, the playground, on excursions, online, or in school uniform in the community.

We encourage you to read and discuss the Student code of conduct with your child. Talking about these expectations at home can help your child understand how they contribute to a positive, respectful learning environment.

From 2027, students and parents or carers will be asked to confirm that they have read and understood the Student code of conduct. You can find more information in the Information about the revised Student Code of Conduct.

By working together, we can help create a school where every child feels safe, included and supported to learn.

World Teacher's Day

Australia will celebrate teachers on World Teachers’ Day today, Friday 30 October 2026. 

You are invited to Shine a light on Australia’s teachers who inspire, support, and empower our children and young people every single day. 

From lightbulb moments to helping someone find their way, teachers make a difference in ways big and small. This World Teachers’ Day, we’re putting that impact in the spotlight. We’d love you to share a moment when a teacher made a difference in your life and help Shine a light on the amazing work they do.
