Student wellbeing
Like all NSW public schools, we provide safe learning and teaching environments to encourage healthy, happy, successful and productive students.
The department is committed to creating quality learning opportunities for children and young people. These opportunities support wellbeing through positive and respectful relationships and fostering a sense of belonging to the school and community.
The Wellbeing Framework for Schools helps schools support the cognitive, physical, social, emotional and spiritual development of students and allows them to connect, succeed and thrive throughout their education.
Child Protection
Strict safety checks are in place to protect students including criminal record checks of all permanent and casual teachers. We teach our students to recognise when they may be unsafe and how to get help.
Internet safety
Web filtering technology prevents students from accessing inappropriate material on the internet and email system.
Sun safety
We teach students about the damaging effects of the sun and promote sun safety practices.
Drug education
Drug education and understanding responsibility and relationships is taught as part of PDHPE from Kindergarten to Year 10.
