Our policies and reports
Our policies and reports help families understand how our school operates. Our annual report and school plan show what we’ve done and how we’re improving each year. Our policies address attendance, absences, behaviour, uniform and how we respond to your concerns.
Annual school report - please contact us
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.
The report includes:
- what we’re doing well and where we’re improving
- student achievement and academic progress
- our school vision and goals
- key highlights and milestones
- challenges we’ve faced and how we’re addressing them.
School excellence plan - please contact us
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.
Student Use of Mobile Phones in School policy - Off and Away strategy
In accordance with the NSW Department of Education Students Use of Mobile Phones in Schools Policy, Bayside High School will implement a Student Mobile Phone and Smart Devices Management Plan. The use of mobile phones and smart devices during school hours will be managed by a gate-to-gate approach using an "Off and Away" strategy.
- Each morning students will be required to switch their mobile phone off when entering the school.
- The mobile phone then needs to stay OFF and OUT OF SIGHT, in your school bag, throughout the day. students are not permitted to use your phone or iPad etc. during recess and lunchtime breaks.
- After leaving the school grounds, students are able to remove their phone from their bag and switch the phone on again.
