Safe and Caring

Otonga School has a caring and nurturing environment that is demonstrated through a range of provisions:
 

• Positive relationships are nurtured through our Values programme.
• Walking School Bus routes promote healthy living and sustainable transport.
• Children's individual special needs are given close attention through remedial and extension programmes.
• Parents are welcomed into the school through the Ready Set Go programme.
• Peer mediators and duty teachers in the playground add to the level of emotional safety of children. They are also highly visable in fluorescent jackets.
• The friendship seat is a place to be rescued from being lost or lonely at break times.
• Sun safety is supported by the school through shaded areas, class sun block and the wearing of hats.
• Childrens concerns are actively addressed
