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.
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.
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.
School Leadership Policy
At Illawong Public School, we focus on developing our students' leadership skills through formal leadership programs and practical experiences. The purpose of this policy is to provide high quality, equitable access to leadership at Illawong Public School. Below is a copy of our Leadershp Passport, a collaboratively developed tool to help leaders on their pathway to becoming a member of our school leadership team.
School Homework Policy
At Illawong Public School, we value the impact of nightly homework routines, but we also value the busy lives that our community maintains.. The purpose of this policy is to provide as consistent an approach as practicable to the delivery and implementation of homework across K-6.
Communication and Photograph Policy
Communication between our school and the community is vital. The purpose of this policy is to provide clear procedures for how Illawong Public School communicates with families and the wider community, including how photographs of students and/or their work are shared.
