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.
Safe, responsible and respectful use of digital technology
At our school we support students to use technology in a safe, respectful and responsible manner. Being safe online is a shared responsibility for students, teachers, parents, carers and the broader community.
Our Student Use of Digital Devices and Online Services Procedure guides students and covers their use of personal digital devices whilst at school.
Personal digital devices, including smart watches, are to be ‘off and away’ in school bags during class, at recess and at lunch and all other times whilst students are on school grounds. This includes before and after school and at excursions and camps. The school takes no responsibility for loss or damage to personal devices brought to school.
An information guide for parents has been developed by the school.

Buddies
All Kindergarten students have a buddy from a Stage 3 class. Buddies meet regularly to participate in activities that promote student wellbeing and a culture of service and integrity. Senior students and Kindergarten students always look forward to seeing their 'big buddy' or 'little buddy' each week.
