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.
Sunsafe Policy
All year round, children are strongly encouraged to wear hats while in the playground. School beanies are preferred in Terms 2 and 3 in lieu of bucket hats, but it is your choice, depending on the weather. The school rule is: “no hat, stay in the shade”.
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.
Student injury insurance
The Federation of Parents and Citizens Associations of New South Wales has facilitated for 2014 a Student Injury Insurance Policy available through insurance brokers Marsh Pty Limited which will provide coverage and benefits to students in New South Wales Government schools.
Sutton P&C has chosen to take up this insurance and collects payment of $5 from parents at the beginning of the year as part of the School Book Pack.
