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.
Anti-Bullying plan
All members of the school community are committed to ensuring a safe and caring environment in which the rights of others and individual differences are respected. At Asquith Girls High School (AGHS) bullying is taken seriously and is not tolerated in any form. This plan will outline the strategies to effectively prevent and respond to bullying behaviour at the school. Bullying is not acceptable in any form at AGHS. The whole school community has been engaged in developing, implementing, evaluating and reviewing this plan. This collaborative approach has been ensured through the executive staff, the wellbeing team and the P&C.
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.
