Communication Protocols

Schools are complex and busy places, and staff are often balancing teaching, supervision, planning, and administrative responsibilities throughout the day. For this reason, the way we manage communication at Wyong Public School is designed to be both respectful and practical.

• Response Times: Our standard response time to emails, phone calls and other requests is 2–3 school days. Please be assured that your query is important to us and will be addressed as soon as possible.
• Scheduling Meetings: On-the-spot meetings with staff are rarely possible, as teachers and executive staff follow structured calendars and commitments. Meetings should always be scheduled in advance through the school office.
• Availability of Staff: While the official school day runs from 8:30am–3:00pm, staff regularly work beyond these hours. It is not unreasonable to receive communication from staff before school (from 8:00am) and after school (up until 5:00pm).
• Respecting School Hours: We will always do our best to keep communication with parents/carers within or as close to school operating hours as possible. Urgent matters will be triaged appropriately.

By following these protocols, we ensure that communication between families and the school is timely, respectful, and supports the learning and wellbeing of every child.

2026 Information

Real Schools (Restorative Practices 2.0)

Wyong Public School works closely with Real Schools and Wyong High School to support positive behaviour, student wellbeing and a strong sense of belonging for all students. This partnership helps ensure consistent expectations and shared language across our schools.

Through the Real Schools program, students learn to:

• understand clear expectations for behaviour, learning and engagement
• develop self-control, responsibility and positive choices
• build respectful relationships with peers and adults
• learn strategies to manage emotions and solve problems calmly

Working with Wyong High School allows us to:

• use common language and expectations across both schools
• support a smooth transition from primary to high school
• build confidence and readiness for the next stage of learning

Together, this approach creates a safe, supportive and consistent learning environment where students feel connected, supported and ready to succeed.

Interacting with our Staff

At Wyong Public School, we value positive, respectful and collaborative relationships with our parents and carers. We ask that all interactions with staff—whether face-to-face, on school grounds, over the phone, via email, or through the parent portal—are conducted respectfully and in line with the NSW Department of Education’s School Community Charter. This charter outlines the expectations for safe, supportive and respectful communication between school staff and families, ensuring the best outcomes for all students.

To maintain a safe and supportive environment, families are reminded that the Inclosed Lands Protection Act 1901 (NSW) applies to school grounds. In circumstances where behaviour towards staff or students is inappropriate, threatening or aggressive, the Principal may issue a warning or enforcement letter, and in serious cases, restrict access to the school site.

If there are repeated breaches of respectful communication, the school may amend the way communication occurs between families and staff. This may include requiring communication to be in writing only, scheduling meetings with senior staff present, or limiting contact to specific channels. These measures are designed to safeguard the wellbeing of staff and students while maintaining essential communication between school and home.

Together, by following these expectations, we can ensure a safe and supportive environment where all members of the Wyong Public School community are treated with dignity and respect.

Raising a Concern

At Wyong Public School, we value open and respectful communication with families. If you have a concern, we encourage you to follow these steps so that the right staff member can support you and your child effectively:

Needing support or assistance at home? Our School Support Officer (SSO) and Aboriginal Education Officer (AEO) are also available to assist families. You can send them a text (their mobile number is provided on this page) and they will respond by text or phone call within 48 hours.

Working with Children Check (WWCC)

At Wyong Public School, the safety and wellbeing of our students is our highest priority. The Working With Children Check (WWCC) is a legal requirement under NSW legislation for people who work or volunteer with children in schools.

By ensuring all required staff, contractors and volunteers hold a valid WWCC, we continue to uphold a safe and supportive learning environment for every child at Wyong Public School.

Online Safety and the eSafety Commissioner

At Wyong Public School, we are committed to supporting safe and responsible use of technology. Families are encouraged to access the resources provided by the Australian eSafety Commissioner, which offer practical advice for parents and carers on helping children stay safe online.

The eSafety Commissioner provides:

• Guides for parents/carers on managing screen time, gaming, social media, and digital wellbeing
• Tips for starting conversations with children about online safety
• Free webinars and resources tailored to different age groups
• A formal pathway to report online abuse, cyberbullying, image-based abuse, and harmful online content

If you or your child experience serious online issues such as cyberbullying, online abuse, or image-based abuse, you can make an official report through the eSafety Commissioner.

By working together as a school community and accessing expert support, we can ensure our children are safe, respectful, and responsible digital citizens.

Parking Around Our School

For the safety of our students and community, we ask all parents and carers to follow the road rules and signage when parking near Wyong Public School. Please:

• Use designated parking areas and observe all no stopping, no parking and bus zone signs.
• Avoid parking across driveways, in staff car parks, or on school grounds.
• Be mindful of pedestrian crossings and keep them clear at all times.
• Never double park or stop in the middle of the road to let children in or out of the car.

The streets surrounding our school can be busy during drop-off and pick-up times. To keep traffic flowing and ensure safety, we encourage families to allow extra time, park a short distance away, and walk to the school gates where possible.

The safety of children is our highest priority. Please model safe and respectful behaviour at all times when using the roads and pathways around our school.

Medication and Health Support

At Wyong Public School, the safety and wellbeing of every student is our priority. Some students require additional health support while at school, including the administration of medication or emergency health care planning.

Steps for Parents/Carers

By following this process, families can be confident that their child’s health needs will be safely and effectively catered for at school.
