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
Glenhaven Public School endeavours to promote, for all students and staff, a healthy, safe, ordered, supportive, secure and caring environment, which is conducive to teaching and learning. 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 Glenhaven Public School we believe that our school is a place where each student can learn and grow in confidence.
School discipline and wellbeing policy
Education plays an important role in supporting children and young people to identify where problems arise that may put their safety, welfare or well-being at risk. Glenhaven Public School provides a safe and supportive environment for the whole community where academic achievement is encouraged and the uniqueness, personality and talents of the individual are valued and developed in an atmosphere, which fosters tolerance, kindness and respect.
Anti-bullying plan policy
At Glenhaven Public School, we believe that preventing and responding to bullying behaviour in learning and working environments is a shared responsibility of all department staff, students, parents, caregivers and members of the wider school community.
Attendance policy
At Glenhaven Public School, we believe that regular attendance at school is essential if students are to maximise their potential.
Mobile phone policy
At Glenhaven Public School acknowledges that there is a range of rapidly changing portable technologies available in today’s society. This policy is designed to ensure that potential issues can be clearly identified and addressed, ensuring that the benefits that mobile phone provide can continue to be enjoyed by students.
Student leadership policy
At Glenhaven Public School, a Student Leadership Policy has been developed as student leaders have the potential to influence the school environment and the behaviour of their fellow students by becoming advocates for positive change in the school community.
