Safe and Supportive Schools
Developing school and class rules is a collaborative effort designed for the safety and security of the whole community. These are regularly discussed during class and SRC meetings. These are:
- bullying and harassment, physical violence or verbal abuse is unacceptable,
- building passes are required to enter school buildings during recess and lunch,
- appropriate hats must be worn on the playground,
- bicycle racks, the hall and front of the main school building are "no play areas".
In line with ACT Education Policy and Procedure, Chapman Primary School has Safe and Supportive School Policy and Procedures.
School House Groups
Students are allocated to a 'House' for special events and carnivals and remain in this house throughout their primary years. As younger siblings join our school, they will be placed in the same house as their older attending siblings. These houses are:
- Doyle - Blue
- Austin - Green
- Namatjira - Yellow
- Perry - Red
School Photographs
School photographs are taken each year by a professional photography company. These include class and individual photos. Sibling photos are offered for families whose children attend Chapman Primary School. Children in Bands, Choirs and other specialist groups may also have a group photograph. Dates, ordering and payment information is sent home to families when these are schedule to take place.
School Psychology Services
If you have school-based concerns around academic or social and emotional issues, please talk to your child’s teacher as the first step.
After this conversation, the classroom teacher will consider what universal and individual adjustments are required to support your child and implement them at a classroom level. If further support is required in addition to these adjustments, the classroom teacher may write a referral to the Student Support Team. All referrals are assessed and may be triaged by the student support team with the school psychologist, to decide the best course of action which may include external services.
In the meantime, or if you have concerns outside of the school setting, the following community services may be helpful.
