We are committed to ensuring a safe and happy environment for your child.
We create and maintain a safe school environment by protecting the wellbeing of our students and promoting positive relationships between students.
Promoting health, supporting student health care needs and reducing health risks are important to everyone at our school.
We support your child’s health and safety through a range of strategies including:
- the behaviour code for students, which outlines the standards of behaviour expected in all NSW public schools
- anti-racism education
- anti-bullying programs
- conflict resolution and mediation training
- peer support
- road safety education
- the Healthy School Canteen Strategy.
For more information, visit the student wellbeing section of the department’s website.
Like all NSW public schools, we promote the healthy development of students through:
- school programs and practices that protect and promote health and safety
- supporting individual students who need help with health issues
- providing first aid and temporary care of students who become unwell or who have an accident at school.
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.
Positive Behaviour for Learning
At our school, we use Positive Behaviour for Learning – a whole-school approach for creating a positive, safe and supportive school climate where students can learn and develop. Our whole school community works together to establish expected behaviours and teach them to all students.
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
Our school takes sun safety seriously. Children learn about how to protect themselves from the sun’s damaging UV rays, and our school implements a range of sun protection strategies. Our school expects all students to wear a hat whenever they are outside on the playground or participating in sport or excursions. ‘No Hat’ No Play’ is the LPS rule. Sun sense information in community languages.
Road safety
Road safety education is taught to all students from Kindergarten to Year 10 as part of personal development, health and physical education (PDHPE).
Drug education
Drug education and understanding responsibility and relationships is taught as part of PDHPE from Kindergarten to Year 10.
