Student health and safety

We are committed to ensuring a safe and happy environment for your child.

Student safety and wellbeing are top priorities at Moonbi Public School. Our School Behaviour Support and Management Plan outlines our expectations for positive behaviours across our school, as well as our approach to managing negetive behaviours. 

Moonbi Public School Behaviour Support and Management Plan

We support your child’s health and safety through a range of strategies including:

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.

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.

Student Health

At Moonbi Public School, the health, safety and wellbeing of all of our students is a priority. 

Allergies

At Moonbi Public School we have enrolled a number of children with severe, life-threatening food allergies (anaphylaxis). Anaphylaxis is a medical condition that causes a severe reaction to certain foods and can result in death within minutes. Consequently, these children will need immediate medical attention if they come into contact with these foods.

It would greatly assist the school to manage this situation if parents would keep nut‐based foods for home treats. In particular, we ask that parents do not send peanut butter or Nutella to school. These products are so sticky, they can easily be left behind on hands and bubblers and other surfaces within the school.

Emergency policy + sickness and injuries

The school policy is to notify parents promptly if their children are injured or become sick during school time.

To enable this to happen, we request that you provide us with the phone numbers where you can be contacted during school hours and advise us immediately of any changes. We also request that you provide us with the name and phone number of a close relative or friend whom we could contact if we are unable to contact you in an emergency. Your emergency contact person should be someone who can come to the school if we are unable to contact either parent. We also ask parents give us permission to seek medical attention in an emergency.

Medication at school

Parents must advise the school of any medical condition that affects their child and requires medication during school time. Parents will need to bring their childs medication to the office, with a completed Student Medication Form.
