The new safe and respectful schools posters

This term, our school is part of an initiative to strengthen respect for all our students and staff. The Addressing Occupational Violence campaign is being launched with posters that remind everyone to always treat our students and staff with kindness and respect, and that aggressive behaviour of any type will not be tolerated at school.

We value our partnerships with you to support every student to learn, grow, and belong. It is up to us – the school and the parent-body - to be good respectful role models to our students. Together, we can create a safe and harmonious environment for our students and staff 

Please join us in supporting this work to create a positive change. Check out the new posters at school and if you have any questions or would like to discuss further, please make contact with the principal.

Merrylands East Public School hours are from 8:00am to 1:15pm. The school office is open from 7:30am to 2:00pm.

For life threatening situations, please call '000'.
