Rules and policies are in place to make sure your child remains safe and well at school.

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.

Student Engagement Plan: Building a Caring Community
At Caringbah Public School, we're proud to launch our new Student Engagement Plan, designed to support student behaviour through restorative practices and a shared commitment to community, consistency, and care.
Grounded in the belief that all behaviour is a form of communication, our plan focuses on understanding, accountability, and strong relationships. Together with students, staff and families, we are creating supportive learning environments where every child is seen, heard, and empowered to grow.
