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.

Late arrivals and early leavers
If students are late to school for any reason, or need to be collected early, you must go to the school office (not the classroom) and get an office produced slip to give to the class teacher.
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 dicipline policy
Widemere Public School is committed to providing a positive learning environment where the expectations of student behaviours are based on the core values of responsibility and respect. Download and view the Student Welfare Policy for more information.
