Behaviour
We have 4 rules at Coominya State School. They are:
- Be safe
- Be responsible
- Be respectful
- Be a learner
Each of these rules has a number of expectations that describe positive behaviours that we want our children use. These expectations can be found in the Student Code of Conduct mentioned below.
Behaviour in the school is guided by the following 2 documents:
- Student Code of Conduct - a document developed to meet the needs of our school. This document was reviewed by staff and community in 2020. Download the school's Student code of conduct (PDF, 1.54KB)
- Positive school behaviour has its emphasis on the positive actions that encourage good behaviour. You can read about these in a short brochure from Related links.

Sun Safety Strategy
Hats
Children are
expected to wear a wide brimmed or bucket hat whilst playing outdoors. For the
sake of their long term health, children without suitable headwear may be
prevented from playing outdoors. The school rule in relation to hats is:
No Hat, No Play
Playground
Areas of shade, including trees are provided throughout the
grounds for children to sit or play under.
The library is open as an alternate ‘play place’ during
second break.
On very hot days, classrooms are opened up during breaks, to
allow more children to stay inside.
Classroom
Children are permitted to
bring containers (containing water only) into classrooms, to drink during the
day.
Attendance
Each parent of a child who is of compulsory school age has the legal obligation to ensure their child is enrolled and attends a school, on every school day for the educational program in which the child is enrolled, unless the parent has a reasonable excuse.
A child should be enrolled in and attend school from the beginning of the school year in the year that they turn compulsory school age (six years and six months).
Each parent of a young person in the compulsory participation phase has the legal obligation to ensure that the young person is participating full-time in an eligible option, unless the parent has a reasonable excuse.
