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.
At Leichhardt Public School our students thrive in a safe, inclusive and nurturing environment.
Our school rules reflect our expectations for student behaviour and these expectations are applied across all school environments.
Through explicit instruction, students gain a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the behaviours expected from them. This provides a framework for student decision making and subsequent actions.
Students who meet the expectations are rewarded regularly and acknowledged through the school and classroom merit systems.
Students whose behaviour does not meet the expectations will be encouraged to reflect on how their behaviour could be improved to match the LPS community’s standards.
Our consistent, fair and holistic approach to behaviour management encourages positive behaviour in all areas of school life. Our rules and expectations are as follows:
Any behaviour that infringes on other people’s safety such as harassment, bullying or any illegal behaviour will not be tolerated at our school.
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.

As well as following the department’s operational policies, we have developed frameworks for our students in line with our school’s values and commitments.
