Care/Bullying Inappropriate behaviour is actively discouraged. Children are reminded of the Code of Behaviour on a regular basis. If inappropriate behaviour such as bullying occurs there is a three tier response. Firstly, the children are interviewed by the Principal. Secondly, if necessary the matter is discussed with parents. Thirdly, the withdrawal of privileges will be considered if the conduct is serious or continuing.

Financial Assistance Parents should contact the Principal when experiencing financial difficulty. Arrangements can be made to assist parents in financial hardship. Confidentiality is assured.
