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 Taren Point Public School, we are committed to creating a safe, inclusive and supportive learning environment where all students can thrive.
Our Behaviour Support and Management Plan outlines our approach to promoting positive behaviour, setting clear expectations and responding to behavioural concerns in a fair and consistent manner.
This plan aligns with the NSW Department of Education's Student Behaviour Policy.
Anti-bullying
Bullying behaviour has three key features. It involves the intentional misuse of power in a relationship. It is ongoing and repeated, and it involves behaviours that can cause harm. The NSW Department of Education requires all NSW public schools to have an Anti-Bullying Plan which details the strategies implemented to reduce student bullying behaviours.
