Dear Niangala Public School Families

The NSW Department of Education is delivering on a commitment to improve policies and reduce administrative workload so teachers can spend more time with their students.

All department policies have been reviewed to make them easier to read, understand, and interpret.

The first batch of policies and procedures have been published in the Policy Library.

The policies include:

• Aboriginal education
• Commercial arrangements, sponsorship and donations
• Inclusive education for students with disability
• School attendance
• Selective high school and opportunity class placement
• Sharing of school facilities
• Technology in schools

Improvements to policy documents

There are minimal changes to these policy documents, with no change to the overall intent.

Schools won’t need to create additional local instructions to comply with policy as all requirements will be available in the Policy Library.

The next batch of updated policies will be released in Term 2.

For more information, please contact the Policy and Procedure Review Program team via email PolicyRedesignProject@det.nsw.edu.au.

Kind regards, 

Hannah Crawford

Principal Niangala Public School
