The school has a strong emphasis on Student Well Being, and there is a range of support programs operating at the school: daily Breakfast Club, sponsored by Food Bank and is run each morning from 7:45 am to 8:45 am; Student Council; Peer Mediation; The leader in me based on the 7 Habits; You Can Do It!; and well defined discipline procedures across the school.

A Primary Welfare Officer has added significantly to the support given to students and staff to improve engagement and wellbeing. The Welfare Officer runs the Breakfast Club and a weekly Clubs program, as well as seeking various funding for Cultural Diversity Week and Free Fruit Friday.

All teaching staff participate in RAMP (Risk Assessment Management Program) which is conducted by the Assistant Principal. Students deemed "at risk" are monitored by teaching teams, and support strategies are enacted. The school employs a Speech Pathologist to support students' language acquistion and usage. A Guidance Officer (Psychologist) supports and counsels students, families and staff.

Student attendance has been a priority, with classes and students being acknowledged and rewarded for excellent attendance. Information about the importance of attendance is regularly included in newsletters and at school assemblies.

SunSmart_logo.png

Australia has some of the highest levels of Ultraviolet (UV) radiation in the world – in fact, UV radiation is strong enough to cause sunburn in as little as 11 minutes on a fine summer day. UV radiation can be just as high on a cool or even cold day as it is on a hot one, especially if skies are clear.

​

The UV Index is a tool you can use to protect yourself from UV radiation. It tells you the times during the day that you need to be SunSmart.

​

The UV Index divides UV radiation levels into:

  • low (1-2)

  • moderate (3-5)

  • high (6-7)

  • very high (8-10)

  • extreme (11 and above).
