We are committed to ensuring a safe and happy environment for your child.
We support your child’s health and safety through a range of strategies including:
- the behaviour code for students, which outlines the standards of behaviour expected in all NSW public schools
- anti-racism education
- anti-bullying programs
- conflict resolution and mediation training
- peer support
- road safety education
- the Healthy School Canteen Strategy.
For more information, visit the student wellbeing section of the department’s website.
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.
Concussion
The NSW Department of Education requires teachers to take immediate action when caring for students who have suffered or are suspected of suffering a concussion. Only doctors can diagnose a concussion and provide medical clearance for a student to return to play.
A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury that can occur from a blow or jolt to the head or body that causes jarring of the head or neck. Signs and symptoms of concussion may appear immediately, hours or days after injury.
Concussions require time to heal, as the brain needs rest and repair. Doctors must clear students to return to sport and physical activity as returning too soon can prolong the recovery time and increase the risk of repeat concussions.
The school will ask parents or carers of CCPS students to take their child to the doctor and share the subsequent medical advice (clearance to play sport/games) with the school.

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.
