Student health and safety

At Mount View High School, we are committed to providing an engaging, safe and respectful learning environment for everyone. We teach and model the behaviours we value in our students. We take strong action in response to behaviour that is detrimental to self or others or to the achievement of high-quality teaching and learning. Our Behaviour Support and Management Plan has strong and explicit links to the Department of Education Behaviour code for students, and the School Community Charter.

Student Behaviour 

Student behaviour includes behaviour that occurs:

  • at school
  • on the way to and from school
  • on school endorsed activities that are off-site
  • outside school hours and off school premises where there is a clear and close connection between the school and students’ conduct
  • when using social media, mobile devices and/or other technology involving another student or staff member, where there is a clear and close connection between the school and students’ conduct.

NSW Department of Education Student Behaviour Policy and Behaviour Code for Students

 

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.
