Ensuring Our Children’s Safety: A Shared Responsibility

As we begin the 2025 College year, I want to emphasise our College’s ongoing commitment to child safety. The well-being of our students is our top priority and we continually strive to create an environment where every child feels safe, secure and supported.

Our approach to child safety is comprehensive and proactive. We strictly adhere to the NSW Child Safe Standards, a framework that guides our policies and practices. These standards ensure that safety is embedded in our College’s leadership, culture and day-to-day operations.

Key Aspects of Our Child Safety Strategy:

• Clear Policies and Procedures: Our Child Safety Policy and Code of Conduct provide clear guidelines for expected behaviour and responsibilities.
• Regular Training and Education: All staff undergo thorough training to identify, respond to, and report any safety concerns.
• Safe Recruitment Practices: We employ rigorous screening processes for all staff and volunteers.
• Student Empowerment: We educate our students about personal safety and encourage them to report any concerns.
• Open Communication: We maintain open communication with parents and the community, valuing your input and feedback.
• Continuous Improvement: We regularly review and enhance our safety practices to ensure ongoing effectiveness.

We believe that child safety is a shared responsibility. We encourage parents to actively participate in our efforts by staying informed, maintaining open communication and having age-appropriate safety conversations at home. 

By working together, we can ensure that our College remains a safe and nurturing environment for all our students.

Please contact us if you have any questions or want to learn more about our child safety practices.
