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 policies)
The following frameworks apply to students at our school.
Uniforms
When students wear a school uniform, they feel included in our school community.
Students, teachers, parents and carers, as well as members of our local community helped develop our school uniform to make sure it:
meets the requirements of occupational health and safety, anti-discrimination and equal opportunity legislation
includes items that are affordable, comfortable and made from easy-care and easy-wear fabrics
is appropriate for the full range of school activities
is suitable for all body shapes.
Learn more about the NSW Department of Education’s School Uniform Policy.
Our school has a second hand uniform store which operates Friday afternoons from 3.15-3.45pm in the school playground. (Please check school newsletter as this is subject to change).
New uniforms can be purchased through Pickles Schoolwear at Brookvale.
Please see updates to the Manly Village uniform (items phasing out).
Generally if your child feels unwell, keep them home from school and consult your doctor. The Too Sick For School document provides guidance but is not intended to take place of a consultation with your doctor.
