CURRANS HILL PUBLIC SCHOOL provides a caring atmosphere where children, parents and the community share in the learning process. This page is moderated from 9am to 3pm on weekdays, excluding public holidays. The Currans Hill Public School page is for the school to disseminate information, to inform and positively promote the school within the community. It is not a forum for community dis
cussion and therefore we do not encourage Comments on items. It is not the place to publicly object to the policies or practices of Currans Hill Public School or its committees or related organisations. Nor is it a forum for users to advocate for their businesses, opinions or philosophical positions. The appropriate avenue is via communication with the Principal of Currans Hill Public School.

Age Limit
Facebook Terms and Conditions state no one under the age of 13 years should have a Facebook profile. Therefore, any comments or page fans from primary students on the [Name of school/Community] page will be removed and, if warranted, users will be reported. Tagging or naming students
Photos of students can only be published if the correct NSW Department of Education permission to publish forms have been completed by the student’s parent or guardian. For privacy and protection, please do not tag photos of children, and please do not name them in your comments, unless the previously mentioned permission is sought. On rare occasions and with parental permission, students may be named by the school Facebook administration team. Tagging of parents or friends within the comment box is permitted with the understanding that all other rules of engagement are followed.
