Rules and policies

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.

School Behaviour Support and Management Plan

At Terranora Public School, we are committed to fostering a safe, inclusive, and positive learning environment for all students through the effective implementation of the School Behaviour Support and Management Plan (SBSMP), in alignment with the NSW Department of Education's guidelines. This plan is designed to support students in developing respectful, responsible, and safe behaviours, ensuring that all members of the school community feel valued and respected. Our dedicated staff, in partnership with parents and the broader Terranora community, work collaboratively to create and maintain a culture of positive behaviour, where students are encouraged to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Through consistent communication, proactive strategies, and a focus on restorative practices, we ensure that every student has the opportunity to succeed and contribute to a harmonious school environment.
