At Arthur Phillip High School student safety, wellbeing and support is our highest priority at all times. Over the weekend media has reported on the tragic death of a police worker and the involvement of an Arthur Phillip High School student. NSW Police have advised the school that there is no ongoing threat as a result of last Friday’s tragic event.
I would like to reassure the whole Arthur Phillip High School community that the school continues to be in close liaison with the Department of Education and the NSW Police to uphold our exemplary levels of student safety and student wellbeing.
Our school counsellors are available for all students, if required, today or in the future.
Some children may prefer to talk to someone they don’t know about how they are feeling. Potential sources of free, anonymous and confidential support for your children include:
The school appreciates the wonderfully warm and resolute support from parents and the broader school community at this difficult time. If parents or caregivers would like to discuss any issues related to their child I would encourage them to contact the school on 9635 8638.
