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.

Swansea Public School's Response to Bullying
Research shows that 87% of bullying incidents have peer witnesses. The most effective anti-bullying approaches promote positive bystander behaviour, or upstander behaviour.
The Australian Student Wellbeing Framework acknowledges the strong interconnections between student safety, student wellbeing, positive relationships and learning. Bullying is less likely to occur in a caring, respectful and supportive teaching and learning community.
The framework’s five evidence-based elements help schools implement a planned whole-school approach to promote student safety and wellbeing and to prevent and respond to bullying, when it does happen.
At Swansea Public School, we respond to bullying through a restorative targeted approach. Please see our Action Plan to find out what this involves.
