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 Broken Hill Public School, we encourage positive behaviour through our LEARN system. Students earn LEARN's each day by showing our school values: looking after ourselves, our school and others, expecting and using good manners, always play and work safely, respect the rights and property of others and never give up. These LEARN's recognise positive choices and help students understand what respectful and responsible behaviour looks like in action. When students do not demonstrate the LEARN values, staff support them through restorative conversations, reflection and re-teaching of expectations, helping them learn from their choices and make better decisions moving forward. Every fortnight, students who earn enough LEARN's are invited to take part in a Wellbeing Rewards Afternoon, where they enjoy fun and engaging activities as a celebration of their efforts. Across the term, students have the opportunity to earn physical LEARN Tickets when displaying the values throughout the day. At the end of each term, students who collect 40 or more LEARN Tickets are rewarded with a special End of Term Rewards Day, celebrating their commitment to positive behaviour, wellbeing and learning.
