Dubbo Public School is committed to promoting quality education in a caring and supportive environment where every child is encouraged to succeed to the best of their ability. Dubbo Public is a welcoming and friendly school, where positive relationships exist between families, students and teachers, based on mutual respect, open communication and shared responsibility. Our innovative socialisation program helps the children develop social skills, responsibility and leadership through the buddy system, Peer Support and the Student Representative Council.
Principles of positive behaviour support, trauma-informed practice, inclusive practice, and social emotional learning underpin our daily practice. High expectations for student behaviour are established and maintained through effective role modelling, explicit teaching, and planned responses.
Dubbo Public School rejects all forms of bullying behaviours, including online (or cyber) bullying by maintaining a commitment to providing a safe, inclusive, and respectful learning community that promotes student wellbeing. Staff are committed to establishing evidence-based approaches and strategies that promote a positive climate where bullying is less likely to occur.
All members of the school community are active participants in building a welcoming school culture that values diversity and fosters positive relationships. A key component of a supportive school culture is building respectful relationships and an ethos that bullying is not accepted, in both online and offline environments. School staff actively respond to student bullying behaviour.
