As a parent or carer, you are an important part of our school community. We offer a range of services to support you and your family.
Parent-Teacher Communication
Two-way positive communication between parents and teachers leads to improved social and accademic outcomes for students.
Our teachers are available for face to face converstations, over the phone and through the Seesaw app. Seesaw has proven to be the prefered method for may parents to stay up to date with what their child is learning and stay in touch with their child's teacher.
Talk to your child's teacher today about how best to stay up to date.
Bellambi Public School also uses Sentral Parent Portal for communicating newsletters, permision notes, payments and student absences. Speak to the office today if you need support setting up an account.
Parents and Citizens’ Association (P&C)
Parents, as partners in the education process, have a right and a responsibility to play an active role in the education of their children.

Swimming Pool Safety
Drowning in swimming pools is a significant cause of preventable death in children under five years of age.
Pool owners are required by law to maintain the safety of their pool area and must ensure that children are properly supervised.
All pool owners need to be aware of laws.
Pool Safety information and requirements can be found on the NSW Government Fair Trading website and in the Pool Safety Barrier Booklet.
