BNPS consequence matrix

The PBL Consequence Matrix

Behavior incidents occur within every school on a daily basis. At BNPS the Staff have developed a system to effectively manage these incidents when they occur. Incidents are classified into yellow, orange and red behaviors.  These incidents are then managed accordingly following the School Consequence Matrix.

Wellbeing policy including Behavior code and Behavior management Plan

At Blacktown North Public School our Discipline Policy is written to meet the needs of each student and community member in the school. At BNPS we expect high standards of behavior in the classroom, playground, while travelling to and from school, while representing the school on excursions, at sport and all other school activities. 

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.
