Our policies and reports

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

Mayfield East Public 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.

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.

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

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.

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).

Sick Bay Procedures

Students who are sick or injured during class time must:

1. Request a note from their teacher to go to sick bay
2. Go to the front office
3. Office staff and First Aid Officer will direct them to the sick bay room and look after them.

The sick bay is used for up to 30 minutes at a time. If the issue persists, parents/carers will be contacted. For serious problems, parents/carers will be contacted immediately and for very serious cases medical help will be obtained.

It is extremely important the medical information in each student’s file is accurate. If there are any changes in a student’s health status, the office must be notified immediately.

Students who are on medication must have a note explaining the nature of the medication and have a medication form filled in. Prescribed medications must be distributed from the front office.

Please note: Mayfield East Public School does not have any medical practitioners on the premises. MEPS provides first aid assistance to students who are unwell or injured. Please be advised the school does not supply any medication, including pain killers, medicated creams, eye drops etc.
