Respectful Behaviours in Our School Community

At our school, we want to make sure everyone feels safe, respected and supported. This is part of the Department of Education’s Respectful Behaviours within the School Community policy, which outlines how parents, carers and school staff can work together positively. 

How families can help

• Speak and act respectfully with staff, students and other families. 
• Work with the school to support your child’s learning. 
• Use the school’s processes if you need to raise a concern. 

Why it matters

Respectful communication helps create a safe, calm and welcoming environment where students can learn and staff can do their best work. 

If you have any concerns, please contact us so we can work through them together in a positive and respectful way.
