 Public schools operate within policy guildelines developed by various state Education departments, which in turn operate within a policy framework developed by their State government and (increasingly) the Australian Federal government. Non-government schools too must operate within these government frameworks.
This page includes links to policy documents developed by State and Federal governments and public school agencies in Australia. These documents may be a useful starting point for the consideration and development of planning strategies and policy documents within individual schools.
