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.

Discipline policy and procedures
At Sandon Public School we are committed to the provision of quality teaching within a caring, safe and supportive learning environment. In order for all students to achieve the highest quality learning outcomes, we believe in setting high expectations for both learning and behaviour. Good discipline is essential if schools are to succeed in helping students become self-directed, life-long learners who can create a positive future for themselves and contribute as a valued member of society.
