We are committed to ensuring a safe and happy environment for your child.
Following the incident on 17 September at Southern Cross University – Lismore Campus, we would like to share Headspace’s mental health support resource (PDF 100.52KB) for students, teachers and school staff.
The New South Wales Department of Education recognises that in order to achieve a productive and harmonious school environment, it is necessary to have in place a policy for effective learning and good discipline. The Lindfield East Public School Student Welfare Policy reflects the policy, practices and procedures as outlined in a number of NSW Department of Education documents.
At Lindfield East Public School we are committed to ensuring a safe and happy environment for your child. In line with Department policy, we believe that the provision of a safe working and learning environment for everyone is an integral and essential part of the responsibilities of a school.
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.
We also have a Health and Safety Committee who regularly review our school’s emergency procedures and liaise with the staff to quickly identify and address any potential hazards in the school grounds.
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.
