Anti-bullying

Anti-bullying

Bullying of any kind is not acceptable in NSW schools.

The NSW anti-bullying website brings together information and resources for teachers, students, parents and carers. It helps to identify, prevent and respond effectively to student bullying, including online bullying. It provides information about online safety and what you can do if your child has been bullied, witnessed bullying or been involved in bullying.

For more information on anti-bullying strategies for NSW public schools refer to the department’s Bullying of Students – Prevention and Response Policy.

For information on racial bullying and anti-racism education for NSW public schools refer to:

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.

Behaviour Code for Students

Behaviour code for students

The NSW Department of Education's Behaviour Code outlines expectations for students to create a positive, safe, and inclusive learning environment. It emphasises respect for others, ensuring safety and wellbeing, and encourages students to take responsibility for their actions. The code promotes positive behaviour and sets clear consequences for misbehaviour, ranging from warnings to suspension. Its goal is to support students in making good decisions and fostering a school culture where all students can thrive. Click here to view document.

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.

School Behaviour Support and Management Plan

School Behaviour Support and Management Plan

Dunedoo Central School has created the following School Behaviour Support Management Plan (SBSMP).

At Dunedoo Central School, we are dedicated to fostering a positive, inclusive, and safe learning environment for all students. In line with the NSW Department of Education's Student Behaviour Policy, all schools must develop and implement a School Behaviour Support and Management Plan (SBSMP) by Term 1, 2025.

The SBSMP outlines our whole-school approach to supporting student behaviour. You can access it here.

Positive Behaviour for Learning

At our school, we use Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) – 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 leadership

Student leadership helps young people find their voices, participate in decision-making, and understand their rights and responsibilities as active citizens. It helps students have a real impact on their learning and school environment and prepares them to participate meaningfully in their community.

Students can be leaders in the classroom, through their actions in the playground, through their support for others, or their involvement in academic, sporting, cultural or local community events or projects.
