Student Welfare

Burnside Public School operates on the three basic principles of CARE, COURTESY and CONSIDERATION.

Students, staff and parents work together to create an environment conducive to the total development of the students and where these principles are developed and encouraged.

 

The following are points taken from the Student Welfare Policy developed through extensive consultation with students, staff and parents:

  • Safety of each and every child is paramount. Rules have been developed to ensure the safety of children.
  • Emphasis is placed on encouragement, praise and rewards.
  • The wearing of a school uniform is important and encouraged.
  • NO HAT – NO PLAY: This is an effort to reduce the effects of UV rays on children's skin.
  • We pride ourselves on our reputation within the local and wider community when it comes to behaviour of the children.
  • Homework is regarded as being an essential part of a child’s education.

To encourage appropriate behaviour, the following system has been implemented:
