STUDENT WELFARE POLICY

The Student Welfare Policy was implemented in 2004. Copies may be obtained from the front office upon request. The policy seeks to clearly spell out student rights and responsibilities and encourages them to display appropriate behaviour. The policy is rich in rewards for students displaying appropriate behaviours and has specific consequences for misbehaviour.

The school also operates a “Buddy Program” which links students from Kindergarten and Year 6. The program aims to provide Kindergarten students with a “special older friend” who will support them in adapting to our school. As the year progresses the scheme provides the opportunity for the older children to assist their buddy with Reading, Writing and Social Development. This program continues with our Year 5/Year 1 Buddy Program.
