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.
Positive Behaviour for Learning
At our school, we use Positive Behaviour for Learning – a whole-school approach for creating a positive, safe and supportive school climate where students can learn and develop. Our whole school community works together to establish expected behaviours and teach them to all students.
Harrington Street Public School Anti-Bullying Plan
Harrington Street Public School rejects all forms of bullying behaviours, including online (or cyber) bullying by reflecting whole school community values and maintaining a shared commitment to providing a safe, inclusive and respectful learning community that promotes student wellbeing. Staff are committed to establishing and implementing evidence-informed approaches and strategies that promote a positive climate where bullying is less likely to occur. Harrington Street Public School’s Anti-Bullying Plan is consistent with the Department of Education’s Bullying of Students - Prevention and Response Policy.
