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.
The Teven-Tintenbar Public School Community has formulated a student well-being and safety policy, which recognises the intrinsic right of every child to a 'rewarding and confident school life.
To achieve these ends, the welfare program consists of a wide range of activities utilising developmental, preventive and support strategies having the capacity to encompass a diverse school population.
When a community such as ours shares a sense of purpose, commitment and fellowship the student welfare program does not stand as a distinct policy design but is fundamental to the ethos of the school.
As a community we hope to identify a set of established parameters that operate to guide the staff and students in satisfactorily fulfilling the variety of roles in which they operate as members of the school community.
At Teven-Tintenbar Public School, our goal is to provide effective learning and teaching within a secure, well-managed environment, in partnership with parents and the wider community. The desired outcomes of our student welfare program therefore relate to:
- community participation
- effective learning and teaching
- positive climate and good discipline.
