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.
Did you know.. that if students miss as little as eight school days in a school term, by the end of schooling they will have missed an entire year of education?
In NSW, regular school attendance is compulsory between the ages of 6-17. Children of compulsory school age MUST attend school every day that school is open for instruction.
On Thursday 22nd October 2020, the Wellbeing Team at Mount Annan High School alongside the Home School Liaison Officer, will be conducting Attendance Review meetings with all students who have 85% or less attendance to school.
These meetings with students will allow us to remind students about the policies and processes surrounding education and absences from school and to check in on the wellbeing of our students.
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.
