Our policies and reports

Our policies and reports help families understand how our school works.

Planning and reporting help us meet the needs of our community, improve the quality of teaching and enhance outcomes for all of our students.

Annual school report

Each year, we share our progress in the annual school report. It gives families a clear picture of how our school is performing and how we’re supporting every student’s success. The report reflects our commitment to openness, accountability and continuous improvement.

Download our annual reports for a detailed account of:

• the progress we have made to provide high-quality educational opportunities for every child as set out in the school plan
• the impact of our strategies for improved learning
• the benefit to all students from resources including equity funding
• our operations and achievements throughout the year.

School excellence plan

Our school excellence plan (SEP) is a working document that shows our priorities in learning, teaching and leading. It explains our focus areas for improvement and how we plan to get there. We write our SEP with help from our school community so it reflects our shared priorities.

School behaviour support and management plan

Our school has a school behaviour support and management plan (SBSMP). The SBSMP helps us create a safe, respectful and supportive learning environment for all students. It sets clear expectations for student behaviour. This includes how we respond to bullying and cyberbullying. We work together with our school community to shape the plan and review it each year.

Mobile phone and digital device policy

In line with NSW Government legislation and the Department of Education’s Mobile Phone Policy, Kingsgrove High School has implemented a ban on mobile phone use during school hours. Students must hand in their mobile phones and electronic devices at the collection point as they enter the school. Devices are returned during roll call at the end of the day.

If a parent or caregiver needs to contact their child in an emergency, please phone the school office and a message will be sent immediately. Students who need to contact family in an emergency can do so through the main office.

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.

Young people below the age of 17 who have completed Year 10 must be:

• in school, or registered for home schooling
• in approved education or training, such as a traineeship, apprenticeship or TAFE
• in full-time paid employment (average 25 hours a week)
• in a combination of work, education and/or training (average of 25 hours a week combined).

Students 17 years and over who are enrolled in school must attend school regularly to meet HSC course requirements.

As a parent or carer, you are responsible for ensuring your child attends school every day when they are of compulsory school age. You must explain all absences to the school within 7 days.
