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

At Bonnet Bay Public School, we are committed to fostering a safe, inclusive, and supportive learning environment where all students can thrive. Our Behaviour Support and Management Plan (SBSMP) prioritises the explicit teaching and modelling of positive behaviour, ensuring that all students are supported in their learning and personal development.

Our approach is underpinned by our three core values:
Care
Respect
Responsibility

To support our students' social and emotional well-being, we implement the URStrong Wellbeing Program, which empowers students to build healthy relationships, develop resilience, and navigate social interactions positively. Through this program, students learn essential skills in conflict resolution, emotional regulation, and friendship-building, aligning with our school values.

BBPS Digital Devices Guidelines

At Bonnet Bay Public School we use technology with purpose. Teachers model explicit, high-impact use of digital tools to support learning—not distract from it. We follow NSW DoE expectations for digital devices and student wellbeing. Phones are to be signed in and out at the school office each day. This PDF outlines our Digital Device rules.

Attendance Monitoring Program

Regular school attendance is fundamental to students achieving positive educational and life outcomes. Consistent participation in learning supports academic progress, social development, and the acquisition of essential skills for future success.

Bonnet Bay Public School, in partnership with parents and carers, shares responsibility for promoting and maintaining regular attendance. This collaborative approach ensures that students are supported to attend school consistently, engage fully in their learning, and develop habits that contribute to lifelong success and wellbeing.

BBPS PSSA Sport, Zone and Representative Selection Policy

Sport forms an integral and compulsory part of the Personal Development, Health and Physical Education (PDHPE) curriculum at Bonnet Bay Public School, supporting the development of students’ physical, social, and emotional wellbeing while encouraging lifelong healthy lifestyles.
