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.
We use the program name: Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL).
Vision Statement
Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) has been adopted with the core values of respect, responsibility, and personal best. All staff and students proudly work together to promote these core values.
Student Management

- All students are valued, equal and unique and are supported to set high personal learning goals for a positive future.
