New policy introduced
Woy Woy Public School will implement a new welfare policy when school resumes at the end of the month.
School principal Ms Ona Buckley said the change in welfare procedures would follow the Positive Behaviour Learning model.
"This model is going to be used by all our schools on the Peninsula," Ms Buckley said.
"This, over time, will result in consistency in all our discipline codes.
"Allowing our school to go through the Welfare Evaluation process not only gave everyone the opportunity and chance to have a say but then gave us processes and recommendations that will improve and update our welfare and discipline procedures.
"It has been a long, carefully-considered process and trial over the last couple of years.
"The process is done, we have a document and every family will receive a copy of it in term one."
