Rules and policies are in place to make sure your child remains safe and well at school.
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.
Positive Behaviours for Learning (PBL)
At Beverley Park School we believe in a positive approach to education. Our program is based upon values derived from our mission statement.
“Beverley Park School provides a safe, respectful and inclusive learning environment with commitment to providing each student with the opportunities to acquire skills, values and positive attitudes to achieve their full potential and be successful participants in the community.
Our vision is for each student to be empowered, lifelong learners who are confident and creative individuals supported by staff, parents and community who have high expectations of them and who are also engaged 21st century learners”.
Our core rules for students are:
Be Safe
Be Respectful
Be a Learner
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.
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.
