We are committed to ensuring a safe and happy environment for your child.
We support your child’s health and safety through a range of strategies including:
- the behaviour code for students, which outlines the standards of behaviour expected in all NSW public schools
- anti-racism education
- anti-bullying programs
- conflict resolution and mediation training
- peer support
- road safety education
- the Healthy School Canteen Strategy.
For more information, visit the student wellbeing section of the department’s website.
Like all NSW public schools, we promote the healthy development of students through:
- school programs and practices that protect and promote health and safety
- supporting individual students who need help with health issues
- providing first aid and temporary care of students who become unwell or who have an accident at school.
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.
School Parliament
At The Channon Public School we provide Years 3-6 students with the opportunity to take part in our school parliament. Students work within a range of portfolios throughout the year to achieve better outcomes for themselves and the broader school community.
In 2013, our Year 6 students will each have the opportunity to lead our school as Prime Ministers. All other students in years 3-6 have the opportunity to showcase their skills, abilities and interests in the other ministerial roles.
Our ministerial portfolios include:
- Prime Ministers
- Minsters for Education
- Ministers for the Arts
- Ministers for Information & Communication Technologies
- Ministers for Health & Canteen
- Ministers for Sport
- Ministers for Environment, Climate Change and Energy
- Ministers for Library
- Ministers for Functions
Our students have already undertaken duties within these roles and we look forward to keeping you updated throughout the year.
