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.

If you need to advise of an absence you can log into School Bytes via the parent portal and use our online absence form.
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.
The St Ives Park Public School community values a safe and harmonious school environment for our students. It is important therefore for all community members including staff, parents and visitors model behaviour that is consistent with our school expectations of Respect, Responsibility and Personal Best.
