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.

Creating Leaders One Student at a Time
From 2012, students at Kororo Public School will be involved in The Leader in Me, a program for personal leadership based on the ‘The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.'All students have the capacity to lead in their own lives and affect those around them by making positive choices.
The Leader in Me provides students with activities that will help them learn practical character and life skills that will lead to those positive choices. Your child is about to embark on an exciting journey, and our hope is that you will ask your child how he or she is doing along the way.
The "Parent's Place" is available at www.TheLeaderInMe.org. You will find ideas to use at home involving the family and reinforcing your child's learning in a fun, interactive way.
What is a leader?
In the dictionary, to lead means "to direct, to guide by influence."Leaders get along well with others, are responsible, appreciate people's differences, and are problem solvers and creative thinkers. Being a leader is finding and using your own strengths and helping other people find theirs.
Who can be a leader?
Everyone has the power to be a leader - Each person has unique strengths and can make a contribution in and out of school by sharing those strengths. Being a leader is not about being popular or holding a position; it's about using your strengths and encouraging others to use theirs.
Why learn the 7 Habits?
The 7 Habits are the road map to becoming a leader. The habits are life skills that you can use on the playground, in sports, with friends, at school, and at home. Each of the 7 Habits will help you today, tomorrow, and when you are an adult.
The Leader In Me and the seven habits will be taught in class time and reinforced during ‘peer support' lessons with our senior students as group leaders.
