School Wide Expectations
At Wyrallah Road Public School we are:
- Respectful
- Responsible
- Safe
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.
Wellbeing policy
The Wellbeing Policy will ensure that all students are well supported and that we deliver a positive and consistent message that reflects the school's commitment to Positive Behaviour for Learning. It articulates the whole school expectations and explains all elements of the rewarding positive behaviour system. There is also a clear delineation of consequences for poor behaviour choices as well as strategies to support smart student decision making.
This policy is consistently reviewed by staff, students and parents with small changes implemented as needed.
