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 end of Year 5, students are nominated for the Year 6 School Leader roles, as listed above. These students are responsible for running assemblies, assisting with special events, attending Student Government meetings and completing important daily jobs at school.
Student government:
Parklea Public School's student government is made up of two representatives from each class; Years 2 - 6, school captains, vice captains, prefects, house captains and house vice captains. The student government works on specific projects within our school and community. The projects for 2019 include; fundraising, cake stalls and the Woolworths Earn and Learn Program. The student government also becomes involved in other school events and projects as needed throughout the year, becoming the voice of the students at our school.
Our student government representatives attend the school's induction assembly and receive a badge in recognition of their roles. At the end of their term in government, students will receive a special certificate for their school service.
We look forward to working with the student government team and gaining a deeper insight into the leadership qualities they can bring to their role as a student government representative and school leader at Parklea Public School.
