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.

Leave of absence note
If your child has been absent from school, to save you from having to write a letter, we have included a leave of absence form (PDF 7KB) for you to complete. You can complete this form and place it in the red absence box in the office on the day he/she returns to school. This form can also be completed if your family is going on holidays. You can bring the form into the office prior to your holiday. This form is also available from the front office. If you prefer you can also use the Rouse Hill Public School app to notify the school of your child's absence.
