School Profile - Student Well-being

Davidson High School's mission is to "provide opportunities to achieve personal excellence". The school emphasises self-discipline and an encouragement of student responsibilities.

There are various avenues of guidance and counselling services available to students and parents. The school desires cooperation with parents and an awareness of the concept of combined teacher-student effort. Positive reinforcement through recognition of good work and rewards for effort is an integral part of our welfare policy. Students should be aware of their rights and responsibilities and the code of conduct, 'respect for each other', which frames acceptable behaviour in the school for students, staff and parents.

Davidson High School recognises that the family has the prime responsibility for the welfare of its children but that it shares this responsibility with a range of institutions including the school. To help share in this responsibility the school offers a range of practical ad positive activities for different age groups such as our Year 7 Camp, Year 9 Camp and Year 11 Jindabyne Personal Development Camp. We aim to provide a safe, caring environment in which students can achieve their full potential.
