There are however a few students who are not always fully complying. To clarify the expectaons, I have aached for your informaon a copy of the school’s Dress Code.

The protecve behaviours program is based on two themes: We all have the right to feel safe at all mes We can talk with someone about anything, no maer what it is The Protecve Behaviours Program aims to help children develop lifelong skills of asserveness, self-confidence, problem solving, communicaon, resilience and help seeking.
