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.
Anti-bullying policy
Kentlyn Public School provides a quality education in a caring, safe and supportive environment. We work to establish a community in which everybody feels valued and safe and where individual differences are appreciated, understood and accepted.
Every student and teacher has a right to enjoy his or her time at school. Our community does not tolerate bullying or harassment. Respect for others is expected.
Implementation
Students, teachers, parents and the community will be aware of the school's position on bullying
which is zero tolerance.

Student welfare and discipline policy
The Student Welfare and Discipline Policy of Kentlyn Public School provides the programs, structures and support to ensure that all students achieve high standards of self discipline, personal conduct and social responsibility.
Student Welfare encompasses everything the school community does to meet the needs of their students and to enhance their happiness and safety.
It is reflected in the way we demonstrate care, ensure safety and provide opportunities for success and recognition of each student. The policies, procedures and programs of this school stress the value of prevention and early intervention.
