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.
At The Rivers Secondary College Kadina High Campus we celebrate diversity, respect individuals and value the peaceful resolution of conflict. All students at our school have the right to feel safe from bullying which is defined as repeated behaviour that is harmful and involves the misuse of power by an individual or group towards one or more persons. Bullying behaviour can be verbal, physical, social, emotional, and includes cyber bullying.
All reports of bullying at Kadina High Campus are taken seriously and we have developed guidelines to implement anti-bullying programs, policies and ways of managing bullying behaviour using a Restorative framework.
