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.
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 and remain in school, employment or training until they turn 17.

School frameworks (school rules)
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.
The Seaham Public School welfare policy has been compiled with assistance from school staff, students and the community. It is updated regularly and reflects policy from the NSW DEC.
The Seaham School Policy team meets in our library after school on the second Tuesday of each month. Current agenda items include the update of the school Anti Bullying policy and the formalisation of our school Homework policy.
The Seaham Anti Bullying Policy 2023 was developed in consultation with teachers, students and the Seaham community.
The Seaham Homework Policy was developed in consultation with students, school staff and the community. We welcome feedback on this document.
