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

Our school has a school behaviour support and management plan (SBSMP). The SBSMP helps us create a safe, respectful and supportive learning environment for all students. It sets clear expectations for student behaviour. This includes how we respond to bullying and cyberbullying. We work together with our school community to shape the plan and review it each year.

Student Use of Mobile Phones

The NSW Department of Education has a Student use of mobile phone policy in schools, students are not allowed to use mobile phones at NSW public schools, including during recess and lunch.  Updates were introduced to the  Digital Devices and Online Services for Students Policy  which focuses on safe, responsible and respectful use of devices and services.

At Kingscliff High School we refer to mobile phone usage at school as the as "Off and Away". This means:

• All mobile phones must be switched OFF and kept AWAY (out of sight) during classroom lessons, transition times between classes, and breaks.

Kingscliff High School is a mobile-free environment designed to foster improved learning and engagement.

In the case of an emergency, we will always ensure you can contact your child.
