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.

Anti-Bullying
No student, employee, parent, caregiver or community member should experience bullying within the working or learning environment of Crestwood Public School. Crestwood Public School has developed an anti-bullying plan.
Supporting the anti-bullying plan is the behaviour code for students. For further information on anti-bullying a great resource is the NSW anti-bullying website.
We are focused on restorative practice which provides a framework for addressing and preventing harm that moves beyond punishment towards healing. Students are supported to recognise the harm that their actions may have caused, name them and express how they will avoid repeating the action.
