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 community charter

Our school uses the department's School Community Charter to ensure all of our communication is collaborative and respectful.

Laptop and bring your own device (BYOD)

As part of our school's equity practices, all students are given access to a Chromebook for their personal use on enrolment.

Alternatively, Rooty Hill High School has a BYOD Policy which requires everyone to have a device in order to engage in classroom activities. In order for the device to be used at school, there are minimum specifications that devices need to meet.

Please our BYOD Policy for more information.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the school.

Attendance policy

Regular attendance at school is essential for students to achieve quality life outcomes. The School Attendance Policy sets out the requirements for the attendance of students in NSW government schools.

Assessment, Feedback, Reporting and Recognition Policy and Procedures

At this school, the main purpose of assessment and reporting is to give every student the opportunity to do his or her best. We expect students to use assessment to improve their learning and develop skills in agency to ensure they are making progress, reaching higher levels of attainment and making decisions for their own futures.

Reconciliation Action Plan

At Rooty Hill High School we recognise that reconciliation is a journey of acknowledging Australia’s true history, reflecting and learning from our past for a prominent, educated and prosperous future. View our Reconciliation Action Plan here.
