The team is responsible for developing individual and group programs that aim to improve student wellbeing in light of policies regarding child protection, internet safety, bullying, racism, sun safety, road safety, and drug education among others.
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.
Bullying
We work hard to prevent bullying in our school and we recognise that the best outcomes are achieved by school communities, parents, students and teachers, working together to help prevent and to respond to bullying.
Our Anti-bullying Plan includes protection, prevention, early intervention and response strategies for student bullying. Any student who experiences bullying and any person who witnesses bullying should report it to a teacher or the school principal.
Racism
Anti-racism education is taught in our classrooms and we make every effort to ensure our school is free from discrimination. Our anti-racism contact officer can help any member of the school community who wishes to raise a complaint of racism.
