We commit to providing safe and supportive environments which nurture the wellbeing of all students and staff in our community, and hold firmly to the belief that they have a right to be safe, respected and valued in an inclusive environment. We know that when students are happy, they are more engaged with their learning.

Schools benefit from wellbeing initiatives and pastoral care support through Sydney Catholic Schools – in areas such as anti-bullying, positive behaviour, student counselling, refugee support and child protection – which range from universal support for all students, to targeted interventions for students with complex social and emotional needs.

At St Finbar’s Catholic Primary School Sans Souci, we help our students to flourish and provide many supporting initiatives. Our behaviour policy is underpinned by restorative justice which makes every choice a learning opportunity.

We have clear behaviour expectations with well-understood rewards and consequences, and our staff and Year 6 leaders are always available to support students on the playground.

Our buddy system ensures our younger students are supported as they transition to school.

The gifted and talented team, diverse learning team and school counsellor assist students who may require additional support or enrichment.

Anti-bullying policy

Sydney Catholic Schools rejects all forms of bullying behaviours, including online (or cyber) bullying, by maintaining a commitment to providing safe, inclusive and respectful learning communities that promote student wellbeing for learning. Staff at Sydney Catholic Schools  are committed to employing wellbeing strategies that allow for a healthy school environment where bullying is less likely to occur.

If your child is experiencing bullying of any kind, or you have a wellbeing concern, we have a number of support services available for parents/carers and students, as listed below.
