Student Safety & Wellbeing

Student Safety

EXCESSIVE HEAT AND LEAVING CHILDREN IN CARS – Albany Rise Primary School ensure students are kept safe on very hot days, by operating a ‘Hot Timetable’. We remind our parent community about the dangers of leaving children in cars on very hot days. 

Wellbeing

Parents and carers are encouraged to read the department’s mental and wellbeing health toolkit, which offers guidance to help them support their child’s mental health and wellbeing at home, and advice on working with your school and seeking help if they have concerns.

Child Safe Standards Code of conduct & WWCC

Albany Rise Primary School is committed to safety and wellbeing of all children and young people. This will be the primary focus of our care and decision-making.

Albany Rise Primary School has zero tolerance for child abuse.

Our school is committed to providing a child safe environment where children and young people are safe and feel safe, and their voices are heard about decisions that affect their lives. Particular attention is paid to the cultural safety of Aboriginal children and children from culturally and/or linguistically diverse backgrounds, as well as the safety of children with a disability.

Every person involved in Albany Rise Primary School has a responsibility to understand the important and specific role he/she plays individually and collectively to ensure that the wellbeing and safety of all children and young people is at the forefront of all they do and every decision they make.

To create and maintain a child safe organisation, Albany Rise Primary School ensures ongoing compliance with the 11 Child Safe Standards.

Access to our school ‘Child Safe Standards’, ‘Mandatory Reporting’ and ‘Engagement, Inclusion and Wellbeing’ policies is via the school website under Policies.

The ARPS Engagement, Inclusion and Wellbeing policy clearly outlines school values and expectations of conduct for parents, students and staff.

Parents are reminded that a current Working With Children Check is required to volunteer in any school based activity.
