Our school uses the department's School Community Charter to ensure all of our communication is collaborative and respectful.
Behaviour Management Plan
At Caddies Creek Public School, we believe that all students have a right to a safe, caring, well-ordered, positive environment that is conducive to learning. Students are encouraged to develop a strong sense of responsibility for their own behaviour and respect for themselves and others.
We aim to help students to become self-directed, life-long learners who can create a positive future for themselves and for the wider community. Schools need to establish clear guidelines and expectations in regard to the rights and responsibilities and behaviors which are known and understood by all community members. At Caddies Creek Public School believe that our school is a place where each student can learn and grow in confidence. Please download and view School Behaviour Support Management Plan (525.KB)
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.
Values are taught in the classroom to help our students to:

- develop care and respect for themselves and others
- take pride in their work

- have respect for and understanding of Australia's history including the cultures and experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the first peoples of Australia, and Australia as a multicultural society
- have an appreciation of Australia's history and multicultural society
- actively participate as citizens.
Any behaviour that infringes on other people's safety such as harassment, bullying or any illegal behaviour will not be tolerated at our school.
