Dear parents and caregivers

Please find attached our recently updated Enrolment Handbook, shared with all students on enrolment.

The enrolment book covers school routines, our focus on high impact, evidence based teaching and learning practices, student voice, literacy and numeracy support at home, and other matters including uniform and attendance.

In 2026-2027 all schools need to share with their school community their Student Behaviour Management Plan, and their Anti-Bullying and Anti-Racism Procedures.

Ours are built into the Enrolment Handbook.

You will see our main, but not sole, focus is proactive and preventative, underpinned by building positive relationships and experiences at school through our extensive extra curricular program and supporting wellbeing programs.

We appreciate the feedback we receive annually from our P and C and through other forums, on these policies. You may wish to share your feedback with the P and C at the meeting next week.

Parents may wish to read the relevant policies underpinning our plan on our Department's sites:

1. Behaviour Support Hub

To understand School Behaviour Support and Management Plans (SBSMP) and the Student Code of Conduct,

you can visit the NSW Department of Education Support for Parents Hub. From this page, you can specifically look at: [1]

What Guides Schools to Manage Student Behaviour – Explains how schools implement behaviour rules and individual support plans.
Working Together for Behaviour Expectations – Information regarding the updated Student Code of Conduct and how it integrates into your school's SBSMP. [1, 2]
2. Anti-Bullying Hub

For direct advice, reporting options, and conflict steps, you can use the NSW Department of Education Anti-Bullying Portal.

We hope you enjoy reading our updated handbook.

It will be my main, but not sole, focus

Translation.......

We’ve updated the school handbook. It explains school rules, attendance, uniforms, learning support, bullying and racism procedures. The Department now requires schools to publish some of these policies. They’re included in the handbook. If you have comments, please raise them at next week’s P&C meeting.

“We hope you enjoy reading our updated handbook.”

I just want to punch someone.

How can we as a society fight this?

Hi AC,

Maybe Houellebecq finds the price of Lollipops at the School Tuck Shop too expensive, and wants to organise a boycott. Otherwise I'm not sure what this is about.
